Inspection Software: Verisurf for MicroScribe® Portable CMM Arm

The MicroScribe portable CMM arm and Verisurf inspection software solution supports the industry-leading Mastercam CAD/CAM system. The solution supplies functionality well beyond the competition, with features that are essential for many inspection, metrology, and reverse engineering projects. Use Verisurf inspection software with MicroScribe portable CMM arms to help improve measurement quality and speed, which leads to improved manufacturing productivity.

The solution includes capabilities to support traditional blueprint part inspection. The model-based definition inspection software automatically imports CAD model specifications including full geometric dimensioning and tolerancing descriptions. Users can quickly validate geometries, which are automatically displayed in real time on the computer screen, simply by taking inspection measurements with the MicroScribe portable CMM arm.

Inspection points are tagged in red (out of tolerance) or green (within tolerance). The parts inspection software and MicroScribe portable CMM arm solution also provides automatic feature recognition, which helps ensure that a complete inspection is performed efficiently. After each entity inspected, an inspection report is automatically produced.

Unlike other systems that are dependent on IGES or STEP translations, Verisurf software and MicroScribe portable CMM arms allow you to inspect to native solid models of all the top CAD formats.
