Question 1

What is reverse engineering with Geomagic Design X?

Accepted Answer

Reverse engineering converts a physical part — captured as a 3D scan or point cloud — into a fully editable parametric CAD model. With Geomagic Design X we rebuild the design intent (sketches, features, datums) so the model can be modified, manufactured, or archived just like any native CAD file.

Question 2

What file formats do you deliver?

Accepted Answer

We deliver native files for SolidWorks, NX, Creo and Inventor, plus neutral formats like STEP, IGES, Parasolid and STL. We can also provide 2D drawings (DWG/DXF/PDF) and inspection reports on request.

Question 3

What accuracy can you achieve?

Accepted Answer

Most projects deliver ±0.05–0.15 mm against the scan, depending on part size, scanner, and surface finish. We provide a deviation color map with every model so you can see exactly where the CAD diverges from the captured geometry.

Question 4

Can you reverse-engineer freeform/organic shapes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use a hybrid surface + solid workflow in Design X for freeform parts (impellers, automotive panels, medical devices), keeping curvature continuity where it matters for flow, aerodynamics or aesthetics.

Question 5

What is the difference between PolyWorks and Geomagic Control X?

Accepted Answer

Both are top-tier metrology suites. PolyWorks excels at probing-heavy CMM workflows and templated production reports. Control X is exceptional for scan-based inspection, fast first-article reports, and intuitive GD&T evaluation. We work in both — pick whichever fits your pipeline.

Question 6

Do you provide AS9102 / PPAP-ready reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver AS9102 first-article reports and PPAP documentation, with full deviation maps, cross-sections, datum reference frames and dimensional callouts traceable to your GD&T drawing.

Question 7

Can you inspect on-site?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer on-site inspection with portable scanning arms and structured-light scanners, in addition to in-lab work.

Question 8

Which 3D printing technologies do you offer?

Accepted Answer

FDM (functional thermoplastics), SLA (high-resolution resin parts), and SLM (metal additive manufacturing). We cover prototyping through end-use production parts.

Question 9

Which materials are supported?

Accepted Answer

FDM: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon, PC, PEEK, carbon-fiber composites. SLA: standard, tough, high-temp and castable resins. SLM: stainless steel, aluminum, titanium and tool steel.

Question 10

Do you handle post-processing and finishing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — support removal, sanding, vapor smoothing, painting, dyeing, heat treatment for SLM parts, and machined critical features on request.

Question 11

Are courses available in English and Arabic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every course is recorded in both English and Arabic with the same curriculum and instructor quality. You choose your preferred language at checkout.

Question 12

How long do I have access to the courses?

Accepted Answer

Individual courses come with 1 month of access. Diploma tracks come with 4 months of access to all included courses, monthly live group Q&A, and one private 1-on-1 session per course.

Question 13

Is there a community for learners?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every learner joins our private community for peer support during the training and career help long after you finish. It's an ongoing network, not a one-off course.

Question 14

Can I get group, in-person or private online training?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Contact us for a quote — we tailor delivery for teams who need in-person, dedicated cohorts, or company-specific curriculums.

Question 15

Do you offer discounts or referrals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Diploma tracks support promo codes, and our referral program lets anyone earn 15% commission on every successful diploma enrollment using their personal code.

Question 16

Where are you located? Do you serve international clients?

Accepted Answer

We are a worldwide provider. We deliver reverse engineering, inspection and training projects to clients across the globe — fully remote-friendly with on-site visits when required.

Question 17

How quickly can you respond to a quote?

Accepted Answer

We reply to every project inquiry within 48 hours on business days with a clear scope and price.

Question 18

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Email us at Info@cadfinity.com or use the contact form with a short description of your part, tolerances and timeline. We'll come back with a scoped quote within 48 hours.
