Designers, engineers, artists, and manufacturers who need to engineer products with intricate, sculptural designs, particularly in industries like healthcare, consumer products, and prototyping.

Unlike traditional CAD that struggles with organic forms, Freeform delivers unrestricted design freedom without complex feature-tree constraints or feature relations, ensuring designs remain easily editable and production-ready.

Yes, Freeform integrates with scanning software, traditional CAD/CAM tools, and additive or subtractive manufacturing processes, enhancing your existing workflow efficiency.

Freeform's optional haptic interface provides tactile feedback, significantly shortening learning curves and boosting productivity by enabling intuitive, clay-like digital modeling.

Absolutely. Freeform combines powerful scripting for automation with versatile manual tools, addressing both standard processes and complex edge cases efficiently.

Unlike these alternatives, Freeform is specifically designed to blend artistic freedom with engineering control, resulting in fully manufacturable, production-ready models.

Freeform grows with your business. From early concept design to refined production workflows and mass customization, it combines powerful automation with a comprehensive manual toolset, adapting seamlessly to every stage of your growth.

Freeform excels in modeling patient-specific medical devices, consumer products, footwear, toys, jewelry, packaging, and complex prototypes demanding intricate organic designs.

Customers achieve faster design cycles, lower production costs, improved product quality, and smooth digital transformation from manual to automated workflows.

There are many products with complex organic forms which traditional CAD systems often struggle to model. As a result, users frequently resort to manual sculpting—an approach that presents its own challenges, such as limited control over engineering parameters like wall thickness, draft angles, and volume. Manual models also miss out on the key advantages of digital workflows: rapid iteration, easy scaling, streamlined collaboration, and integration with modern digital manufacturing processes.

Freeform bridges this gap. It provides the flexibility and expressiveness of manual sculpting within a powerful digital environment—offering the precision, efficiency, and scalability that traditional CAD systems can't deliver for these types of designs.

No, Freeform is not classed as a medical device and Hexagon does not claim that it is intended for medical treatment, planning or diagnosis. While many customers have successfully integrated Freeform into their workflows, it is essential for customers to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.

Medical Device Regulations typically allow for non-regulated solutions to be used. In these situations, it is the responsibility of the device manufacturer to make sure the use of Freeform follows relevant regulatory standards.

While this may involve some additional effort, many of the world’s leading manufacturers of patient-specific devices have found the benefits of using Freeform far outweigh the extra effort.
