RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., September 15, 2005 Geomagic announces a new program that helps customers rapidly implement and gain value from digital shape sampling and processing (DSSP). DSSP bridges the physical and digital worlds, delivering substantial productivity gains in inspection, re-engineering and other manufacturing workflow processes.
