General information

Geomagic Design X is software for reverse engineering. It is designed to process 3D scan data into parameterized, CAD-compatible, editable solid models.

Access

The LRZ has 5 floating licenses for Geomagic, which means that a maximum of 5 users can work with Geomagic concurrently. The software is not installed on LRZ computers, but shall be installed by the user himself on institute computers of the TU or LMU. From the workstation of the user DesignX may request a license from the license server of the LRZ, provided that the subnet of this workstation has been activated for the Geomagic licenses of the LRZ. Using Geomagic via the LRZ is currently free of charge.

Access to the LRZ licenses is granted by sending the completed and signed application form to Dreer_AT_lrz_PUNKT_de. Of course the software may only be used for research purposes.

The installer for the software itself can be downloaded from softwaresupport.oqton.com. It is not necessary to order the temporary test license, as you will obtain access to the LRZ floating licenses. Please note that other Geomagic products from the manufacturer are also available on this site. However, the LRZ only has licenses for Design X.

Documentation

You can find introductory videos on YouTube and on softwaresupport.oqton.com/s/article/Design-X-Introductory-Tutorial-Start-Page.
