Geomagic Qualify 10 for Computer-aided Inspection

By DE Editors

Geomagic (Research Triangle Park, NC) released Geomagic Qualify 10, computer-aided inspection software for users of multi-sensor metrology systems, enables features captured by hard probes to be automatically processed by Geomagic Qualify 10 and ensure accurate alignment between the inspected part and its corresponding CAD model.

New capabilities in Geomagic Qualify 10 enable users to quickly detect and inspect geometrical features such as points, holes, slots, cones, cylinders, planes and spheres. It automates feature creation and tasks such as calculating size, analyzing fit, comparing 2D and 3D features, and measuring point-to-point and feature-to-feature distances and angles.

Plus, the new hard probing and 3D feature capabilities in Geomagic Qualify 10 are fully integrated with functions such as alignment, GD&T, and 2D and 3D dimensioning that are popular with users of 3D scanning systems that generate dense point clouds.

Easy-to-understand color maps in Geomagic Qualify 10 provide instant 3D visual feedback on how the inspected part compares with the corresponding CAD model.

Geomagic Qualify 10, which supports 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista, is due to be demonstrated in the Geomagic booth at MRO 2008 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (April 15 to 17), and Control 2008 in Stuttgart, Germany (April 22 to 25).
