Geomagic Qualify 10 to Debut at Control Show
Geomagic will preview Geomagic Qualify 10, new computer-aided inspection software for users of multi-sensor metrology systems, at the Control international trade fair in Sinsheim, Germany. Geomagic is exhibiting in Hall 3, Stand 3309.
Geomagic Qualify 10 streamlines workflow, improves alignment accuracy, and provides comprehensive inspection coverage for users who want to take advantage of the combined strengths of 3D scanners and hard probes. A single interface enables users to perform a complete inspection of every type of shape and feature that characterizes an object, saving time and increasing inspection accuracy.
New capabilities in Geomagic Qualify 10 enable hard-probe users to detect and inspect 3D prismatic features such as points, holes, slots, cones, cylinders, planes and spheres. The software 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.
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.
"Geomagic Qualify 10 will allow us to take advantage of the best features of hard probes and 3D scanners while maintaining a single, intuitive workflow," says Rus Emerick, a process improvement specialist who has helped Schneider-Electric automate inspection across 206 manufacturing operations in 130 countries. "The 3D feature capabilities in Geomagic Qualify 10 will close the 3D digital loop. We'll be able to do everything - design, engineer and inspect - within a 3D environment."
Geomagic Qualify 10, currently being beta-tested in sites around the world, is scheduled for release in August. New customers who purchase Geomagic Qualify 10 along with an annual maintenance contract before June 28 will receive a free three-month extension to their maintenance contract.
