Geomagic Studio 11 Earns Autodesk Inventor Certification

Geomagic Software Creates Native Autodesk Inventor Files from Point Cloud Data
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Geomagic announced today that Geomagic Studio 11 has earned full certification
for use with Autodesk Inventor 2009 and 2010 software under the Autodesk
Inventor Certified Applications program. The certification indicates that
Geomagic Studio has reached the highest levels of quality and interoperability
when working with Autodesk Inventor software.

"The certification of Geomagic Studio gives Autodesk Inventor software users
access to a comprehensive solution for transforming 3D scan data into
high-quality CAD models," said Andrew Anagnost, vice president of Design,
Engineering and Simulation Products for the Autodesk Manufacturing Industry
Group. "Manufacturers can look forward to a seamless connection between Geomagic
Studio and Autodesk Inventor to design and build better products in less time."

Autodesk Inventor is the foundation of the Autodesk solution for Digital
Prototyping. It produces an accurate 3D model that enables users to validate the
form, fit and function of a design before physically building it. With Autodesk
Inventor, users can safely integrate AutoCAD and 3D data into a single digital
model to create a digital prototype of the final product, reducing the number of
costly physical prototypes.

Best of both worlds

Geomagic Studio enables users to create accurate 3D models and CAD surfaces from
point-cloud data - a fundamental data type that is growing in importance for
product design, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping as users want to bring
physical objects such as clay models or existing parts into the digital realm.
By transforming physical assets into digital models that can be used by standard
CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM tools, Geomagic Studio closes the loop between the
physical world and digital design and manufacturing. Geomagic Studio
automatically identifies analytic surfaces (planes, cylinders, cones and
spheres) as well as swept and freeform surfaces. Version 11 includes a variety
of tools to refine models and bring them into Autodesk Inventor as true
parametric models.

"The combination of Autodesk Inventor and Geomagic Studio enables design
professionals to easily switch between physical and digital worlds to capitalize
on the creativity advantages of each and leverage each to the fullest extent,"
says Cathy Hofknecht, vice president of marketing for Geomagic. "The result is
greater design freedom, increased productivity, and faster product development
time."
