Dimensional Inspection Software Module

CAD imports of IGES and STEP files are supported as standard by VXinspect. This allows direct measurement comparisons with the nominal CAD models, enabling you to better understand a part’s manufacturing defects.

Seamlessly integrates your choice of measurement modes, by supporting both contact single-point touch probe using the HandyPROBE portable CMM and non contact measurements using scanners such as the MetraSCAN 3D or the HandySCAN 3D. All devices can be combined through the unique and intuitive software interface.

VXinspect incorporates a wide range of measurement tools to enable you to carry out all types of inspection work, including probing and scanning of features and surfaces. All measurements can be compared directly with the nominal CAD data, or even to the imported mesh of a previously measured part.

The first step to every dimensional inspection process is to ensure the proper position and orientation of the object in 3D, according to the operational or design requirements of the part. This ensures more accurate results from data acquisition up to the final inspection report. VXinspect includes a range of alignment tools to deal with most applications.

VXinspect’s sophisticated algorithms and calculation methods offer an accessible way to apply GDT principles and practices to the inspection projects, even for users without extensive experience with GDT notions. With VXinspect, you can tackle most GD&T requirements including form and orientation tolerances, profile and localisation tolerance, datum reference frame (DRF) construction using geometric counterparts, and much more!

Once measured, a part’s dimensional results can be presented either in a tabular or graphical format, with direct export to Microsoft Excel for printing or creating customised report templates.
