▼ Geomagic Control X’ s 3D Compare tool enables users to efficiently analyze deviations across a part and output to a comprehensive inspection report for communicating results
“ By embedding quality earlier in the process, companies can reduce scrap, shorten lead times, and avoid costly rework,” said Hexagon.
Solving real-world manufacturing pain points
One of the key challenges in modern manufacturing is identifying issues early enough to prevent downstream impact. With its real-time deviation analysis, Geomagic Control X empowers teams to inspect faster and act sooner – before flaws become failures.
This level of agility is especially valuable for companies producing custom parts, working with complex geometries, or managing tight production timelines. For example, manufacturers using molding or casting processes rely on the software to detect postprocess deformation that might not be visible with basic inspection.
Built from industry roots, evolving with user needs
Originally developed to help manufacturers fully leverage the power of 3D scanning, Geomagic Control X has been refined over two decades to meet the evolving demands of modern metrology. Its user-friendly interface, broad device compatibility, and real-time analytics make it suitable for both expert quality engineers and new users alike.
The software supports everything from small-scale structured light scanning to largescale LIDAR scans, enabling use cases in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and beyond.
Hexagon acquired the Geomagic portfolio earlier in 2025. The development team is focused on enhancing interoperability, integrating more extensive GD & T( Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) libraries, and ensuring full support for global inspection standard.
