3D inspection software "PointShape Inspector"
This is software that allows you to easily start 3D scan inspections. It utilizes 3D data for inspections, enabling the streamlining of inspection processes and accommodating various shapes.
"PointShape Inspector" is software for 3D scan inspection. It allows you to load scan data and CAD data to measure dimensions and angles on the data, as well as to check deviations between the design model and the physical model. [Features] ■ Capable of evaluating freeform surfaces It can handle complex shapes that are difficult to evaluate with conventional measuring devices. By comparing with CAD data, deviations that are hard to recognize visually can be confirmed visually. ■ Simplified inspection process with templates The inspection process can be recorded as a template. By pre-recording the procedures for inspections that are performed repeatedly, it enables effective use of time and allows anyone to conduct inspections following the correct procedures. ■ Easy sharing of inspection results Inspection reports can be output with one click, making sharing smooth. ★ There is also a package that includes this product and the compact tabletop-sized 3D scanner "iPointShape." You can check the details from the external link below. * For more details, please request a catalog or view the PDF data from the download button below.

Detailed information

Evaluation of "curved surfaces" is difficult with only three-dimensional measuring machines. In the evaluation of curved surfaces included in products, in many cases, multiple points are measured with a three-dimensional measuring machine, and the pass or fail of the numerical values is determined by comparing them with CAD data. However, this judgment is based on comparisons at arbitrary points, and it can be said that accurate evaluation as a "surface" is not actually being achieved. Furthermore, with the advancement of design and manufacturing and the proliferation of 3D technology, the number of products with complex shapes such as freeform surfaces is increasing, which suggests that the importance of evaluation across the entire surface will continue to grow in the future.

■Evaluation of Curved Surfaces Using 3D Scanning Inspections With a 3D scanner, instead of specifying arbitrary points for evaluation like a three-dimensional measuring machine, it can capture tens of thousands of points at once, digitizing the entire shape as a single model. By loading the scanned model and the CAD data model, it becomes easy to compare entire surfaces, leading to reductions in time and labor. Inspections and measurements utilizing 3D scanning are the optimal method for evaluating "surfaces," which has been difficult to assess accurately with traditional methods.

【Surface Evaluation Utilization Example (1)】Instantly determine OK/NG at a glance The comparison results are color-coded, allowing for an immediate judgment of pass or fail. For example, in this diagram, the comparison results are divided into three colors, enabling a visual understanding of OK/NG areas. The deviation tolerance between the design model and the scan model is set to ±0.1mm for comparison. If it falls within the tolerance range, it is displayed in green; if it is outside the tolerance range and positive compared to the design data, it is displayed in red; and if negative, it is displayed in blue. This allows for an instant determination of the pass or fail of deviations occurring on the surface, thereby reducing inspection time.

【Example of Surface Evaluation Utilization (2)】Understanding the Trends of Distortion to Improve the Manufacturing Process Manufactured products are affected by various factors within each process, leading to the occurrence of distortion. However, it is often difficult to grasp the locations and trends of these occurrences through point evaluation alone. In 3D scanning inspection, not only can pass/fail judgments be made, but the color mapping function allows for the gradual color-coding of deviation amounts, visualizing the locations and degrees of distortion. By identifying factors within the process, such as machining conditions, tool wear, molding conditions, and mold design, based on the occurrence of surface waviness, warping, and shrinkage, improvements can be made towards better manufacturing conditions.
