Design X Go: The Fastest Way to Turn Scans into CAD

Need to turn 3D scans into actual CAD models without wasting hours redrawing everything from scratch? That’s exactly what Design X Go is built for.

In this video, we break down Design X Go — a professional-grade reverse engineering tool designed specifically for scan-to-CAD workflows. Whether you’re scanning broken parts, legacy components, or prototypes, this software gets you from raw mesh to editable, parametric CAD faster than almost anything else on the market.

We walk through what makes DXO (Design X Go) different from traditional tools, like SolidWorks or Fusion 360. Most CAD platforms don’t play well with raw scan data — you either get stuck with dumb surface models or end up redoing all your work manually. Design X Go solves this with a clean workflow that includes mesh repair, geometry extraction, live sketching, and full parametric modeling… all in one place.

Key Features We Cover in the Video:
• True Parametric CAD Output: No more surface-only exports — Design X Go gives you full design history, editable sketches, and native CAD features that work with SolidWorks, NX, Creo, Inventor, and more.
• Advanced Mesh Tools: Clean up and prep scan data using tools like decimation, hole-filling, mesh refinement, smoothing, and alignment — all without leaving the software.
• Live Sketching + Feature Extraction: Automatically fit planes, cylinders, and curves to your scan geometry. Trace clean, constrained sketches directly onto your model with real-world accuracy.
• Live Transfer to CAD: Skip the export-import headache. Send your model directly into your CAD program — complete with constraints, features, and history — ready to edit or refine immediately.
• Huge Time Savings: Depending on part complexity, Design X Go can be 2x to 20x faster than traditional workflows. That means more projects, faster turnarounds, and less wasted time.
• Compatible with Major CAD and Scanner Brands: Works with almost every scanner and CAD platform out there. You won’t get locked into a specific hardware ecosystem.

This isn’t some stripped-down hobbyist tool. It’s built for professionals who need accuracy and speed — whether you’re doing product development, mold design, legacy part recreation, or on-demand replacement parts. Design X Go is built on the same tech as Geomagic Design X (an industry standard), just focused specifically on scan-to-CAD for maximum usability and performance.

Best of all? It’s not $30,000. In fact, the price is shockingly affordable — under $5K. But we’re not dropping an exact number here, because pricing can change. Head to https://visionminer.com/geomagic to check the current pricing and see if it’s a fit for your shop.
