Hexagon Designer
The connection between design and production.
DESIGNER was specifically developed for smarter manufacturing and impresses with a variety of solid, surface, and sheet metal modeling functions, the creation of 2D drawings, design automation using macros and scripting, as well as integration with Hexagon’s CAM software and reverse engineering capabilities.
Versatile application for smarter manufacturing
DESIGNER is Hexagon’s CAD application for smarter manufacturing. The solution stands out with a variety of solid, surface, and sheet metal modeling functions, the creation of 2D drawings, design automation using macros and scripting, as well as integration with Hexagon’s CAM software and reverse engineering capabilities.
Create
DESIGNER provides advanced tools for CAD design – including specialized features for reverse engineering, sheet metal processing, and additive manufacturing.
Automate
DESIGNER supports automation and customization through macros and scripts – for greater efficiency in complex manufacturing workflows.
Collaborate
DESIGNER is connected to the Nexus 3D Whiteboard and enables collaborative 3D design reviews in the cloud.
Advanced CAD for manufacturing
Import and optimize geometries – with CAD tools specifically developed for CAM preparation. This creates manufacturing-ready setups that seamlessly connect design intent with practical execution.
Optimized CAD for 3D printing
Effortlessly prepare parts for 3D printing – with intuitive tools for geometry optimization, mesh repair, and support structure creation. For precise results with minimal effort.
Sheet metal design & optimization
Convert models and assemblies into manufacturing-ready sheet metal parts – with tools for adjusting bends, corners, and flanges while considering production parameters. Fix overlaps and optimize flat patterns for nesting.
One software, multiple applications
Reverse engineering
DESIGNER offers end-to-end reverse engineering – from point cloud to solid model.
All steps take place in a single environment with direct modeling, enabling the efficient creation of manufacturing-ready digital twins.
2D to 3D
DESIGNER supports the import of 2D data, such as DXF and DWG files. These can be quickly and easily converted into manufacturing-ready 3D models. The imported 2D data automatically creates sketched profile regions, making the conversion from 2D to 3D easier than ever before.
Sheet metal
The sheet metal module in DESIGNER converts solid and surface models into manufacturing-ready sheet metal parts.
With direct modeling, bend control, and collision detection, it supports efficient adaptation and optimization for sheet metal processing.
Macros and scripting
With macro recording and JavaScript support, DESIGNER automates recurring design tasks.
Macros can be edited, combined, and executed multiple times – ideal for parametric part models and customized workflows.
Electrode creation
The optional electrode tool in DESIGNER accelerates electrode design in tool and mold making.
Thanks to direct modeling and repair functions, precise electrodes can be quickly derived from imported geometries.
Comprehensive range of CAD interfaces
DESIGNER supports numerous CAD formats and native data from leading systems.
Even large and complex files can be reliably imported, edited, and prepared for manufacturing.
