Organic 3D design software that brings clay modeling into the digital world
3D sculpting software that works with touch-based haptic devices to combine the best of both worlds: traditional handcraftsmanship with organic, digital design for custom manufacturing.
Geomagic Freeform software is the digital equivalent of working with your hands using a piece of clay. This new method of hybrid design gives designers an edge over traditional computer-aided design tools by offering the flexibility to organically model shapes with your hands. It provides a comprehensive design and sculpting toolset to empower you to sculpt, detail, and deform virtual clay models into any form you desire.
With Geomagic Freeform, you can design from scratch, or combine 3D data from a 3D scanner and other sources.
Make amazing new products in no time.
Geomagic Freeform works seamlessly with 3D Systems Touch haptic 3D devices (Touch or Touch X models). It’s a true 3D interface with force feedback on your hand that gives you a physical sensation of sculpting in a virtual environment. Work faster in 3D than ever before because the devices use a sense of touch to model virtual clay just like real clay. This intuitive way of interacting with your 3D design reduces learning curves, speeds design, and empowers you to deliver top-notch 3D data.
Geomagic Freeform is a flexible software solution for anyone looking for an easier way to design organic products intuitively.
Geomagic Freeform is more than a CAD and sculpting software. Especially ideal for 3D modeling complex, organic forms, the software takes traditional sculpting to a new level by combining it with digital design.
Everyone is unique. Use Geomagic Freeform to create sculpted shapes, especially medical products that precisely fit the human body.
Create complex, sculptural, production-ready 3D models and quickly prepare them for 3D printing, or mold and die manufacturing.
Freeform solves complex, precision design and manufacturing challenges and easily addresses complex tasks within existing scan-to-print or CAD-to manufacturing workflows.
Discover why Geomagic Freeform is the most comprehensive, organic, hybrid design software on the market.

This latest major release adds a host of new functionality that makes Geomagic Freeform more productive, more accessible, and ensures more consistent results. It empowers you to scale your design for custom manufacturing faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Geomagic Freeform picks up where traditional CAD software stops. This hybrid modeling system has the flexibility and benefits of many different modeling paradigms incorporating Surfaces, Solids, Mesh, SubD, and Clay into one design environment. Make smooth surfaces and razor sharp edges with SubD, model precisely defined CAD shapes with NURBS and Solids, or deform and emboss shapes with clay.
Geomagic Freeform’s StructureFX™ toolset delivers the freedom to select existing patterns or create custom complex, internal and external lattice structures for lightweight and beautiful designs. Advanced tools create functional cages for applications such as custom medical implants. These tools work alongside the advanced 3D print analysis tools for perfect and successful 3D printing of your designs.
Quickly repair faulty and low-grade 3D data into smooth workable models. Employ sculpting and embossing tools to form texture layers into real, physical geometry that can be immediately 3D printed, used in traditional manufacturing or easily exported in a wide range of formats for downstream workflows. Geomagic Freeform Plus version of the software includes Geomagic Wrap.
Retain artistic control while avoiding production surprises and costly oversights. Confidently 3D print your designs with pre-printing analysis tools to ensure the part prints right the first time. Use Freeform data to quickly 3D print casting patterns for fast, accurate creation of investment casts. Powerful voxel technology exports water-tight models requiring no additional costly model repair software.
The software comes in two editions. Geomagic Freeform provides simple, fast organic design-to-3D-print tools plus a comprehensive design and sculpting toolset. Geomagic Freeform Plus takes the toolset to the next level by providing extensive hybrid design support, broader interoperability, and the tools you need to prepare your part for mold tooling and manufacturing.
