Add the sense of Touch to your digital world
3D Systems haptic devices provide true three-dimensional navigation and force feedback, integrating a senseof touch into the Geomagic Freeform® and Geomagic® Sculpt™ 3D modeling software solutions as well as
research and commercial applications. The 3D Systems haptic devices can accurately measure the 3D spatial
position (along the x-, y- and z-axis) and the orientation (roll, pitch and yaw) of its handheld stylus.

Intuitive Interaction
When haptics are used in design and virtual sculpting environments,
designers can interact and feel the shape of the 3D model as if they
were designing in physical clay. Interactive clay sculpting tools that
perform just like the real world allow for a far more intuitive 3D
design. These patented 3D Systems haptic devices ingeniously use
motors to create forces that push back on the designer’s hand tosimulate touch when the cursor interacts with the 3D model in virtualspace. Depending on the model, 3D Systems haptic devices provide
either 3 or 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) force feedback.

Touch ™
Touch to Create and Simulate
3D Systems haptic devices are used in every industry that requires
accurate organic designs, using the sense of touch to build 3D
models faster and with precision.

The 3D Systems Touch offers the ability to precisely sculpt
inside the Geomagic organic design software solutions. This
haptic device offers robustness and stability for complex
projects and designs.

Designers turn to Geomagic software and haptic devices tosuccessfully create their designs for the following applications:• 3D Modeling and Manufacturing• Jewelry, Automotive, Toy, and Shoe Design• Medical Surgery and Rehabilitation Simulations• Artwork and Sculpting• Forensic Reconstruction• Training, Simulations, and Skills Assessment• Gaming, Entertainment, and Virtual Reality• Bakewear and Cookery Molds and Dies
• Teleoperation and Robotic Control• Virtual Assembly and Collision Detection• Applications for the Visually Impaired• Molecular Modeling• Nano Manipulation

Touch X ™
With greater accuracy, the Touch X delivers the very bestfor professional designers and artists in terms of accuracy
and ability to develop fine details. This haptic device delivers
optimal stiffness and a high exertable force to assist with theprocess of design and production.

Haptic Based Software
The industry’s most comprehensive organic 3D engineering
tools combine touch-based 3D sculpting, surfacing, design
intent modeling, 3D scan processing, CAD interoperability
and mold making. These features enable the creationof complex, sculptural, production-ready 3D models
and quickly prepare them for additive or subtractive
manufacturing. The software comes in 2 packages Geomagic Freeform and Geomagic Freeform Plus andworks exclusively with any 3D systems haptic device.

OpenHaptics™
3D Systems Open Haptics
Software toolkit
From 3D game developers to molecularresearchers, developing a new software
product with a sense of touch is madestraightforward with the 3D Systems
haptic devices plus the OpenHaptics
Software toolkit. This toolkit delivers theability to integrate any 3D Systems haptic
device into a 3D application with tools
such as 3D navigation, material properties,
polygonal object support, device control,sensor readings and more.

Geomagic Sculpt is an entry-level, fast, accurate virtual
sculpting software platform that enables the creation offree-flowing organic designs for products, sculptures,
jewelry and artwork that can simply not be achieved in
CAD. Geomagic Sculpt operates with both a standard
mouse or with a 3D Systems haptic device for a true senseof touch, while working as the most intuitive way to createfunctional and beautiful products for 3D printing andmanufacturing.
