Frequently Asked Questions
Artec 3D software is tailored to work seamlessly with its scanners, offering intuitive post-processing capabilities. DezignWorks focuses on integrating CAD functionality into existing software environments, and InnovMetric’s Polyworks is renowned for its comprehensive metrology and inspection solutions. The right choice depends on your specific needs.
While many of these software applications are user-friendly and designed for professional use, training can be beneficial. It ensures that users fully utilize all functionalities and achieve optimal results. At Digitize Designs, we can provide this training, hands-on or hands-off!
Polyworks Inspector by InnovMetric is designed for quality control and inspection, providing comprehensive tools to analyze and report the quality of 3D scanned parts.
For reverse engineering projects where you start with a physical part and aim to create a detailed and precise CAD model, we highly recommend Oqton’s Geomagic Design X and Design X Essentials. Both software solutions are leaders in the industry, offering robust tools that not only allow for the conversion of 3D scan data into accurate CAD models but also streamline the entire reverse engineering process. With Geomagic, particularly, you have the benefit of an upgrade path from Design X Essentials to the full Design X version, which can be invaluable as your business or project requirements expand. This flexibility is part of our commitment to providing scalable solutions that grow with your needs.
Most of these software applications support data from various 3D scanners. However, some, like Artec 3D’s software, are tailored for specific scanner models. Always check compatibility based on your scanner to ensure seamless integration (or ask us!)
The choice depends on your workflow. However, software applications that allow quick scan data conversion into CAD or 3D printable formats, such as Mesh2Surface or QuickSurface, can be particularly beneficial for rapid prototyping.
Professional-grade software typically receives regular updates to add features, improve performance, and address issues. It’s common for significant updates to be released annually, with minor patches or fixes rolled out as needed. Typically, software licenses are available on an annual or lifetime basis.
Many manufacturers offer trial or demo versions to give users a feel for the software before purchasing. If you’re interested in a free trial, give us a shout, and we’ll set you up in no time!
Most manufacturers, including Artec 3D, DezignWorks, InnovMetric, and others, provide post-purchase support, including software updates, training resources, and technical assistance. If you purchase through a certified reseller, like us, you double-down your support and minimize risk as we become your go-to and liaison (if needed) for all things support-related. We offer training and support, protection plans, and ongoing assistance as needed as we aim to be your first call for all things 3D scanning by proving ourselves not just pre-purchase, but post!
