GO3D Design Studio
For scan intake, point measurements, section planes, component placement and a saved review recipe.
Bill’s first testLoad one scan and place one component. Check the scale against a real measurement.

Build from
the real thing.
Your product. Your decisions. Bring in a scan, position real components, and work toward the next physical build.
Characters, mechanisms, bottling equipment — one workspace for the product in front of you.
THE WORKFLOW
- 01Scan
Capture the shape. Confirm its scale.
- 02Model
Section, place and compare.
- 03CAD
Resolve the precise interfaces.
- 04Print
Test one fit. Then build further.

A PRACTICAL TOOLKIT
Use the tool that solves the next problem.
Start in the studio. Add a specialist tool when a particular surface, feature or fit calls for it.
Supplier CAD libraries
Start with a simplified STEP for bearings, shafts, collars, actuators and brackets. Keep the supplier part number with it.
Why it helpsLess rebuilding from scratch, smaller preview files, and a part Bill can order.
QUICKSURFACE Pro
For turning a selected scan region into a useful fitted surface or CAD feature. Start with the vendor’s trial.
Test before committingUse one interface patch. Record fitting error, editing effort and STEP reopen results in Surface & color.
Native CAD, when needed
Use the SolidWorks companion for supported native operations. Onshape is an alternative to evaluate for browser-based CAD editing.
Keep the distinction clearA scan is a measured reference mesh. An imported STEP does not recreate its original feature history.
Workstation & setup
Keep your tools together: QUICKSURFACE, the SOLIDWORKS companion and a readiness check for your current PC or a proposed GO3D host.
Start with the PC you haveRecord its exact configuration, then compare the same approved file before choosing an upgrade.
When should Bill try Geomagic or another surface method?
Try Geomagic Design X if the same test region needs a more involved reverse-engineering workflow. Compare it with QUICKSURFACE using the same scan, alignment and tolerance. Keep NURBS fitting local to the surfaces that need it; retain the scan for visual reference.
Choose the result that produces the required fit with manageable file size and editing time. A whole-model conversion can add complexity without helping the next build.
