Geomagic Control X

Geomagic Control X (formerly known as Geomagic Qualify) is a laser scanning software for comparing reference models and scanned objects. The inspection automation platform provides numerous functions for automatic analysis of different parts. Thus, Geomagic Control X can be used for improving production and quality of components as well as for debugging.
