Raindrop Geomagic simplifies digital shape sampling and processing (DSSP), enabling customers to accelerate their design-build cycles and ensure quality at every step. Combined with new 3D scanning hardware, Geomagic software quickly and easily captures 3D geometry of shapes and forms with accuracy and speed not possible with traditional design software. The firm’s technology delivers digital convergence that unites physical and digital worlds, freeform and mechanical shapes, and discrete and continuous mathematics. Digital convergence promises major changes in the manufacturing world: * Medical devices such as hearing aids, dental appliances and artificial knees can be custom-fit to the individual. * Designers can capture classic products and rework them in many styles, shapes and colors. * Product manufacturers can differentiate their offerings through design and customization. * As-built physical parts can be compared to as-designed digital counterparts to ensure quality and accuracy. * Digital realizations of physical parts can be used to ensure accuracy of engineering analyses in the automotive, aerospace and consumer product industries. * Digital inventories can be made of legacy parts without CAD data. Formerly located in IL, Raindrop Geomagic has headquarters in Research Triangle Park, N.C., subsidiaries in Europe and Asia, and distributors worldwide
