What your quality engineer actually checks
Traceable, standard-compliant results
GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and ISO, straight off the scan, gives you the geometric tolerances your auditor and first-article process require — evaluated against the CAD, not eyeballed. Directional and 2D line-profile tolerances cover the callouts real drawings use.
An applications engineer on the line
Help with alignment strategy, GD&T callouts, and report templates for your recurring parts — from engineers who run this software. Demo before you commit. Sub-4h reply, NDA on request.
Geomagic Control X is a standalone 3D metrology inspection software that turns scan data into a dimensional decision. Compare a scan to CAD with full-field color maps, run GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and ISO, inspect against a golden part when there is no CAD, and generate a customizable, traceable report — with scanner-agnostic hardware support and visual-scripting automation.
Why quality teams choose Geomagic Control X
Scan to report in one package, with standard-compliant GD&T and open hardware support.
Full-field deviation vs. CAD
Overlay a scan on the CAD model and see every deviation as a color map with customizable scales, plus deviation-location tools that pinpoint surface defects across the whole part at a glance.
GD&T to ASME Y14.5 & ISO
Evaluate size, form, orientation, and location with a full geometric tolerancing toolset to ASME Y14.5 and ISO — including 2D line-profile GD&T and directional, per-axis tolerances for first-article reports.
CAD-based, CAD-free & feature-aware
Inspect against a golden-part scan when there is no CAD, and let automatic feature recognition dimension holes, slots, and edges in 2D or 3D. Import PMI/MBD models to cut inspection setup time.
Automated, customizable reports
Build reports from customizable, shareable templates and export to Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, or XML — with visual scripting and batch analysis to automate repeat jobs and cut false rejections.
How Additive Plus delivers Geomagic Control X
Licensed, set up, and supported for your inspection workflow.
License & install
We match the right Control X edition and modules to your parts and scanners, and get the software licensed and installed on your workstation.
Train & template
Onboarding on alignment, GD&T, and report templates for your recurring parts — so inspection is consistent between operators from the first job.
Support that answers
Questions on a tricky alignment or a specific tolerance callout go to engineers who run this software. Sub-4h reply, NDA on request.
Measurement & Analysis
Geomagic Control X compares scan data to a CAD reference for full-field deviation, evaluates GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and ISO, and adds 2D and 3D dimensioning plus cross-section analysis. Automatic feature recognition finds holes, slots, and edges, while a multi-alignment toolset handles best-fit, datum, and feature-based alignments. Advanced airfoil analysis supports turbine and blade work, and trend monitoring forecasts when a part or tool may drift out of tolerance. See the full feature list below.
CAD-Based, CAD-Free & Live Inspection
When you have a CAD model, Geomagic Control X dimensions and constrains features directly from it — or imports PMI/MBD-enabled models to speed setup. When you do not, its CAD-free workflow inspects against a golden-part scan, recognizing features automatically. The Live Inspect tool guides measurement in real time, and the software is scanner-agnostic — it works with major 3D scanners and portable CMMs, letting quality teams collect and analyze data up to seven times faster than a traditional CMM.
Automation & Reporting
Visual scripting records and replays inspection routines so repeat parts run the same way every time, and an automation server integrates measurement and feature recognition into a production workflow. Every result feeds the reporting engine, which builds automated, customizable reports from shareable templates and exports to Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, or XML — consistent, audit-ready output on every run.
