Version: 2026.1 - February 2026
Important Notice: Product Naming Update
Starting with version 2026.1, the Freeform product line has been reorganized into a single product family: Geomagic Freeform.
The editions are now presented as tiers within the same family:
- Freeform Sculpt
- Feeform Modeling
- Freeform Plus
This change makes it easier to understand feature availability across editions and simplifies licensing and maintenance management. The splash screen now also displays the installed tier and maintenance expiration date

Automation Improvements
Python Scripting API
With Python scripting, you can:
- Extend and enhance Dynabot automation workflows
- Create and modify objects and geometries
- Manage objects in the Object List
- Perform complex, text-based selections
- Edit object names with greater control
- Implement advanced logic and custom operations
Documentation and a getting-started guide are installed with the product
Dynabot Improvements
Dynabots can now be created, edited, and executed without a connected haptic device, allowing automation workflows to run on non-haptic systems. A new Select Previous task is available for selecting the previous object in the Object List. Consolidated Dynabots can also be licensed or encrypted.
Workflow and Modeling Improvements
Deform Selection
The new Deform Selection tool, available in the Deform Clay palette, allows you to move, rotate, or scale a selected region of a model while adjacent areas deform smoothly to maintain continuity and detail
This produces natural-looking transitions between the edited area and the surrounding model. The tool works with both Clay and Mesh pieces.
Tug with Curve Editing
Thickness Measurement
Thickness measurements now support measuring clay over buck material. When measuring thickness on clay that contains buck, you can hold CTRL to treat the buck as a boundary and measure only the clay layer above it. The ray-shoot calculation stops at the buck material.
Points Tool
Points can be projected onto a piece surface. Intersection creation now supports non-linear curves for Line-Line, Plane-Line, and Curve-Piece intersection modes.
Analysis and Visualization
Mesh Summary
A new Mesh Summary command displays model properties including bounding box dimensions, face count, and vertex count.
Information can be displayed for the active piece, all visible pieces, or selected faces.
User Interface and Interaction
Mouse Mode Enhancements
Curve Spheres can be created and converted in mouse mode. The Curve Sphere to Clay tool and Curve Spheres functionality in Draw Curve tool are available with or without a haptic device.
Reset the Object List location
A new Reset Object List Position View command restores the Object List window to its default location and view
Gimbal Visibility
Triad display visibility has been improved with additional rendering options, including axes labels and border display controls.
Haply Device Integration
Freeform now supports Haply Robotics haptic devices. Go to https://www.haply.co/ to learn more.
File I/O
DICOM RTSTRUCT Support
Mesh models contained with DICOM Radiotherapy Structure Set files can now be imported.
Save As and Export
Dialogs now provide a shortcut to My Parts Library for quicker file access and storage.
Mesh Import
Improved mesh file import performance, reducing loading time for large scan data
New Tools available in Freeform Sculpt
Mesh Utilities
Remesh, Reduce, and Analyze and Repair Mesh utilities are now available in Freeform Sculpt.
Miscellaneous Enhancements
- Engrave Text on Mesh – Now supports entering multiple lines of text in one operation.
- Annotated Points – Points can now snap to a piece’s local origin for more accurate alignment and reference placement.
- Ridge – Performance has been improved when processing large numbers of curves, reducing delays during complex edits.
- Select Clay – The Loop Selection command now supports seed selection, allowing you to choose the intended region (inside or outside of the 3D curve).
- Mesh Offset / Mesh Shell – You can now create the result as a new piece instead of modifying the original geometry, preserving the source model.
- Reposition Origin – A new Move to Global Origin command resets all position and rotation values to zero, quickly restoring
default origin alignment.
- Sweep Clay – Stability has been improved during Sweep Clay operations, reducing unexpected interruptions.
