Reverse engineering software overview

GEOMAGIC WRAP

Geomagic Wrap can also be used for reverse engineering, but it has some distinct features, which make it different from Design X. So, aside from converting a mesh to CAD (compared to Design X it has limited number of mesh-to-CAD tools), you can also work on its textures (side not: Rhino and Zbrush allow texture edits too).

 
For example, you can apply texture to your model, amend the color and adjust its brightness/contrast, implement RGB corrections and etc.

Geomagic Wrap also enables you to unwrap the model as on the example below:

Aside from texturing tools, Geomagic Wrap has some useful measurement tools.
You can also scan directly into Geomagic Wrap (like with Geomagic Design X) and align multiple scans into a single scan.
