Case Study: Asano Co., Ltd. achieves faster design, fewer prototypes and two to three times faster inspections with 3D Systems Geomagic Design X & Control X

Asano Uses Geomagic Software 3D Scan Software to Drive Innovation

Asano Co., Ltd., a Japanese metal‑processing manufacturer serving the automotive and motorcycle markets, needed faster, more accurate design and testing for prototype sheet‑metal parts and molds. The company faced time‑consuming shape measurement during testing, frequent trial prototypes, and challenges redesigning complex assemblies like the front underbody plate for a Honda S660.

Asano adopted 3D Systems’ Geomagic Design X for reverse engineering and Geomagic Control X for metrology. The workflow lets engineers quickly capture existing geometry, create manufacturing‑ready CAD models and run precise inspections — cutting inspection time by two to three times, dramatically reducing trial prototypes, improving mold accuracy and enabling faster, more innovative designs across more than 200 projects.
