Case Study: UK-GERMANY achieves 70% faster reverse engineering and rapid watertight camera housings with 3D Systems' Geomagic Design X

Giving Watertight Models a Whole New Meaning with Geomagic Design X

UK-GERMANY is a specialist German manufacturer of precision underwater camera housings (in production since 1990) known for complex, space-saving designs used by professional photographers in extreme conditions. Facing rapidly shortening camera model life cycles, the company needed an accurate, fast way to capture camera geometry — for example the Hasselblad H3D — to design watertight, pressure‑proof housings that fit precisely.

They adopted 3D scanning to produce dense point clouds and used Geomagic Design X to convert scan data into parametric, feature‑based CAD solids. This workflow enabled rapid, accurate housing design (resulting in a polyamide H3D housing rated to 5 m) and cut reverse‑engineering processing time by over 70%, saving cost and accelerating time‑to‑market.
