Case Study: Synapse achieves instant client approval and slashes time and cost with 3D Systems' Geomagic Freeform

Synapse Gets Instant Client Approval Using Geomagic Freeform

Synapse Modelmaking, a 50‑person studio specializing in licensed 3D character products, was commissioned to design collectible figurines for Boots based on Aardman’s Chicken Run. The challenge was to produce lifelike, client‑ready sculptures that could be reviewed, edited and approved quickly while enabling efficient resizing and reproduction across product lines.

By using Geomagic Freeform, Synapse was able to demonstrate and modify models live, securing on‑the‑spot approval from the Aardman representative and streamlining the approval of resized variants. The result was a major reduction in time and cost, an intuitive clay‑like digital workflow for sculptors, and a competitive advantage that positions Synapse for new opportunities such as animation character creation.
