Latest 3D measurement software release adds solid modelling

Three components, which were previously cost add-ons, are now included in the Verisurf CAD module: creation and editing of solid models; raster-to-vector conversion of images and photos; and true shape nesting of 3D geometry for use in composite materials, 3D printing and many other applications.

New Speed Menu options for point cloud and mesh objects greatly reduce the time necessary to scan, align and inspect part data. In the improved point cloud display with shading, the fine details of live scans look great and appear in real-time, as the data is collected. Analysis functionality has been optimised for increased speed and accuracy when using large scan data with the capability to process and display one million points per second in real-time. These enhanced capabilities have enabled new productivity features, including a ‘Do It’ icon to run the macro for quick alignment, registration, analysis and reporting.

Ernie Husted, President, Verisurf Software, commented: “At Verisurf our goal is to provide a comprehensive set of measurement tools so Quality and Manufacturing Engineers can effectively do their jobs. With the release of Verisurf X9 we continue to close the gaps in being able to maintain a digital thread between design, manufacturing and quality inspection. Verisurf users continue to provide practical insight necessary to help guide our software development.”

The lastest Verisurf Software functionality and added features are designed to make stationery Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), portable CMMs and 3D scanners more productive for automated inspection, guided assembly and reverse engineering. Built on a powerful CAD platform, Verisurf Software provides a variety of manufacturing measurement solutions to meet the needs of the quality lab and in-process applications on the shop floor.

Verisurf X9 is scheduled for global release in December 2015.
