The data generated during 3D scanning (actual data) reflects your component as it was manufactured. Due to its level of detail, this data is ideally suited to be compared with the CAD data (target data) according to which your component was manufactured. To do this, we virtually align the scan data and the CAD model using 3D inspection software (ZEISS-Inspect Pro Optical 3D, formerly GOM-Inspect Professional) and create measurement reports in which we compare the target and actual models. The result is a 3D geometry check of the entire component.
3D Scanning
3D quality control, geometry control
3D quality control
target-actual comparison, 3D geometry control, area comparison
Apart from the complete geometry comparison of component against CAD, we offer the possibility to:
- Detection of manufacturing errors
- Creation and analysis of cuts on the component
- Control of shape and position tolerances
- Wall thickness control
- Fold analysis of sheet metal parts
- Competition analysis
- Comparison with previous measurements (wear, abrasion, deformation, corrosion …)
- Creation of initial sample inspection reports (EMPB) or First Article Inspection (FAI)
This enables error detection very early in the manufacturing process. You get a precise overview of the quality of your component and can therefore save costs and time.
Information on comparison types:
Area comparison, target-actual comparison, false color analysis, false color analysis, control of form and position tolerances (GD&T), initial sample inspection report EMPB, FAI First Article Inspection, cross-section analysis, wall thickness analysis, comparison with previous measurements
surface comparison, target-actual comparison
Geometric deviations between the component and the CAD model are shown in color. This is used to detect tolerance deviations on the entire component – even with complex free-form geometries. The CAD data is overlaid with the scan data. Geometric differences between the CAD and scan are then made visible using colors. Green means that the surfaces are within the permitted tolerance. Red means too much material or deviation and blue means too little.
control of form and position tolerances (GD&T)
The shape and position tolerances of any geometry are evaluated. Permissible tolerances are taken from the technical drawings and checked.
cross-sectional analysis
Deviations between the component and the CAD model in any 2D sections are shown in color. Component thicknesses and geometric deviations are determined and dimensioned.
wall thickness analysis
The wall thickness of the entire component is compared with the CAD model and deviations are shown in color.
comparison with previous measurements
Determination of deformation, corrosion, wear, shrinkage, etc. by measuring the same component at different times and comparing these measurements with each other

3D measurement data
3D measurement data is information obtained from measuring a physical object or assembly in three dimensions. This data can capture various parameters such as size, shape, distances, and positions.
In terms of inspection, 3D measurement data can be extremely useful for evaluating the quality of products or parts. Here are some key applications:
quality control
The measurement data can be used to ensure that a manufactured part meets the specified tolerances and specifications. By comparing the measured 3D data with the CAD models or the ideal geometries, deviations and errors can be detected.
error detection
If a product or assembly has defective or undesirable features, 3D measurement data can help identify those defects. This can be useful in both manufacturing and quality control.
Reverse Engineering
The measurement data can be used to convert existing physical objects into digital CAD models. This is useful if you want to reverse engineer or modify an existing product.
dimensional inspection
The measurement data can be used to perform precise measurements of complex geometries, which is particularly important when tight tolerances and high accuracy are required.
summary
Overall, 3D measurement data can take inspection to the next level by enabling comprehensive and precise analysis of physical objects. Modern technologies, such as 3D scanning and 3D imaging, have greatly expanded the use of 3D measurement data in various industries and applications.
