3D Systems has announced the immediate availability of its new Geomagic SculptTM 3D modelling software with TouchTM haptic 3D stylus.
Geomagic Sculpt pushes the boundaries of solid modelling by allowing the freedom of designing complex and organic shapes.
Geomagic Sculpt mimics the sense of physical sculpting and the Touch 3D stylus gives the user the ability to literally feel what is being created.
Touch uses the power of haptics to allow users to feel every shape, texture and curve in design creations.
Features include Virtual Clay Modelling giving the user the ability to manipulate designs just like a piece of virtual clay whilst seamlessly working alongside your current CAD software.
Geomagic Sculpt is the only software that combines the benefits of voxel modelling and Sub Divisional (SubD) surface modelling with dimension-driven sketch tools. With multi-representational design freedom you can create the exact geometry you want.
Users have the ability to fine-tune even the smallest elements to make truly unique products. Geomagic Sculpt lets you bake textures of any complexity into virtual clay and perfect them for the ideal look and feel.
What’s more is, Sculpt is made ready for 3D printing with Geomagic Sculpt’s voxel-based modelling engine. With its automatic 3D printability analysis, Geomagic Sculpt lets you optimise designs on the fly for printing and checks for common printability issues like feature size and proximity allowing you to make changes before pressing print.
Geomagic Sculpt with the included Touch 3D stylus is priced at $3,900 USD and is available immediately through 3DS’ resellers of Geomagic software.
