Why Choose Designer?
- Intuitive Direct Modeling
Work without a feature tree: modify models quickly and easily, even without CAD history. - Fast CAM Preparation
Optimize your parts before programming and reduce the time between receiving a job and starting production. - Multi-CAD Compatibility
Import and edit STEP, IGES, Parasolid, and other standard file formats with ease. - Repair and Simplification
Fix geometry issues and simplify models for more reliable machining.
A Solution Designed for Manufacturing
Unlike traditional design software, Designer is built to meet the practical needs of the shop floor:
- Quick modification of customer files
- Model adaptation without wasting time
- Efficient preparation for CNC programming
- Independence from complex CAD systems
The result: greater flexibility and fewer bottlenecks throughout your production process.
Real-World Use Cases
Hexagon Designer integrates seamlessly into your daily workflow:
- Geometry preparation for CAM (ESPRIT)
- CAD model correction and cleanup
- Simplification of complex parts
- Adding or removing features (holes, surfaces, volumes)
- Optimization before machining
Seamless Integration with ESPRIT
With iCAM, Designer naturally fits into your ESPRIT CAM environment:
- Optimized workflow:
Geometry → Preparation → Programming → Machining - Fewer interruptions
- Reduced back-and-forth with CAD systems
- Increased overall productivity
