InspectionXpert (Apex, NC) and Verisurf (Anaheim, CA) have released a new solution. The integrated solution builds on the strengths of both products by streamlining the first article and production inspection process from 2D drawings to automated 3D measurement and reporting. The integration combines:
- InspectionXpert’s powerful data extraction, ballooning, and reporting tool for quickly capturing dimensional information from 2D drawings.
- Verisurf’s 3D inspection and measurement solution and real-time interface with any coordinate measuring machine or 3D scanner.
The Process:
- InspectionXpert quickly balloons the 2D drawing, creating the unique IDs for Verisurf’s measurement plan, and the powerful Optical Character Recognition (OCR) extracts inspection information from the drawing.
- Inspection information is then published to Verisurf where the inspector can easily match the drawing dimension to the 3D model, create the measurement plan, and begin the 3D inspection.
- When the 3D inspection is complete, the results can be exported from Verisurf in a variety of formats or imported back into InspectionXpert to create standard or custom inspection report formats for AS9102 and PPAP.
- The inspection plan is saved automating all subsequent production inspections in a highly repeatable process and can be published to inspection results databases such as Net-Inspect.
