Overview

What is Geomagic Control X?
Geomagic Control X Inspection Software Scan processing of a valve
Geomagic® Control X™ is a professional metrology software that lets you capture and process the data from 3D scanners and other devices to measure, understand, and communicate inspection results to ensure quality everywhere. With Geomagic Control X, more people in your organization can:

• Measure faster
 • Measure more often
 • Measure more completely
 • Measure anywhere

Ensure Quality Everywhere
Bring the power of 3D scan-based inspection to more people in more places with software that makes it easy to both capture and interpret scan data.

Gain Deeper Insights Beyond Pass/Fail
3D scanners capture far more information than a hand tool or CMM ever could. Control X lets you leverage that rich data to understand why parts are in or out of tolerance.

Optimize Manufacturing Processes
With insights gained from comparing scanned parts to CAD models or golden parts in Control X, stakeholders can recognize and address issues faster than ever.

"Using Geomagic Control X, our testing is 2-3 times faster than in the past, and we can aim for much higher manufacturing efficiency."
Tetsuya Matsumoto, Quality Assurance Manager at leading automotive supplier Asano, Japan

What Can You Do with Geomagic Control X?

Design
Design for Manufacturability
Use Control X to check prototypes and address manufacturability issues such as deformation after molding or casting.

Don’t Just Find Problems, Fix Them
Any inspection software can show you where parts are out of specifications. Control X integrates tightly with CAD and Geomagic Design X so you can update your 3D CAD models to compensate for any problems.

Manufacture
Identify and Resolve Manufacturing and Assembly Issues
Scanning provides a complete view of your parts. Control X gives you the tools and the flexibility to understand how and why a part may have issues and keep production on track.

Eliminate Costly Scrap and Rework
 Empower more people to inspect incoming parts from suppliers to prevent defective parts from making it to assembly.

Inspect
Solve Your Toughest Measurement Problems
Control X has the tools to satisfy demanding quality control requirements, so you can solve your most complex metrology challenges. Go beyond simple alignments and color maps.

Improve Quality Documentation
3D scanning a part creates a complete digital record of all of its geometry. You can perform additional measurements at any time, even when the part is no longer physically present. Discover an issue six months from now? Just pull up the scan and check any dimension – no need to remeasure the part.

Reduce Quality Control Bottlenecks
Control X is so intuitive, you don’t have to be a highly trained or experienced metrologist to use it. Combined with the portability of 3D scanning, more people in the organization can leverage 3D scan-based inspection.

Maintain
Assess Damage, Deformation or Wear Accurately and Consistently
 Scanning reveals wear or deformation even in unanticipated places. Control X’s automated alignment and deviation analysis tools make it easy to locate and measure part wear.

Predict Part Failure Before It Happens
 Monitor changes in a part’s geometry over time to catch unforeseen problems and take

corrective action. Control X includes trend analysis and reporting, so you can predict when a part or tool might fail.

Why Choose Geomagic Control X?
Easy to Learn
Don’t have time to become an expert in inspection software? Control X is for you. Start getting results with little or no training.

Quick to Use
Control X is flexible – it follows the way you work, not the other way around. And scan-native algorithms built on a CAD kernel make handling huge data sets fast and easy.

Everything You Need
Control X comes with everything you need for professional-level inspection. You don’t pay extra for CAD importers, scan mesh processing tools, or airfoil analysis capabilities.

Born to Work with Your 3D Scanner
Get the most out of your 3D scanner with software designed from the ground up to work with it. Control X works with every 3D scanner, so you can add more devices and keep a common software interface to them all.

7X faster
3D scanning and inspecting parts with Control X is up to 7x faster than with a CMM

80% lower
Control X customers report up to 80% lower inspection costs based on time and labor savings

Geomagic Control X 2018
Geomagic Control X 2018 addresses unique requirements for the aerospace and automotive industries, providing 50% increase in efficiency over competitors.

Features

Scan Processing Automation
 Scan registration, merging, clean-up, and other pre-inspection
 processes can now be designed and automated within Geomagic
 Control X.
 • Implement automated processes individually, automatically,
 and/or in batches
 • Create custom scan workflows specific to scanners or routines

Deviation Location
 With Geomagic Control X 2018 you can analyze the size, shape and
 location of deviation groups. This key inspection capability allows you to:
 • Quickly identify and measure surface deviation, including dents,
 corrosion, and other types of wear
 • Automatic measurements allow for quick and turn-key inspection

Airfoil Analysis
 Whether you are working on turbines, blisks, blings or blades,
 Geomagic Control X 2018 provides a fast and intuitive way to gather
 profile measurements.
 • Create profile measurements both automatically, or using
 custom methods
 • Includes Twist Analysis

Multi-Alignment Inspection
 The new Multi-Alignment Inspection capability allows you to create
 repeatable inspection routines that require measurement in
 different alignment environments. This is especially useful when
 inspecting parts that could have large deformations such as sheet
 metal, or long-range applications like bowed structures.
 • Auto-create geometry and measure between features using
 different alignment schemes
 • Repeatable set up allows for automated inspection of the
 most deformed parts such as sheet metal or plastic molded
 components

Custom Reporting Delivers Flexibility in Inspection
 Reporting has been enhanced giving users more tools to easily
 create inspection reports to analyze their results with:
 • Data table templates allow for more flexible reporting
 • Result Navigator information can be inserted into reports
 • Users can now export into a 3D PDF format
 • Algorithm improvements that decrease
 calculation times by ~33%

 contextual shortcuts enhancing no-CAD as well as general
 workflows
 • Users have new control over dimensional annotations such as
 arrows and center marks
 • Dimensional tolerances can be automated based on

 File import capabilities have been enhanced in Geomagic Control
 X 2018, providing the latest connectivity to scanning devices and
 improved CAD importing on even the most challenging reference
 models.
 • New and updated integration with popular metrology devices
 from Faro, Hexagon, Creaform, Nikon, Solutionix, and more
 • Legacy Control Files can now be imported
 • Updated CAD import provides more reliable import of CAD files
 • ASCII reference Geometry importer enables users to import
 geometry from simple text-based formats
 • Improved architecture that uses up to 37% less memory when
 handling scan data
