The Cross Scanner is a patented high-speed, multistripe laser sensor that enables more efficient scanning of features such as holes, slots, gaps and steps inspected in automotive applications.
Metris CADcompare is a workflow based, easy-to-use software solution that compares a 3D co-ordinate measurement of a physical part - a point cloud - with its CAD model.
CADcompare is typically used for in-depth first article inspection, tool validation, wear analysis and 3D dimensioning.
CADcompare provides a complete set of tools to prepare and align the point cloud and nominal data.
The compared datasets results in an intuitive, 3D deviation colour map.
The user can further analyse the data by cutting sections, checking the wall thickness, detecting features etc.
The fully customisable reporting functionality includes tools for company-wide data sharing, enabling faster and better decisions.
Repetitive inspection tasks can be automated through Visual Basic.
CADcompare is seamlessly integrated with Metris scanners, and can import most 3D digitisers and important CAD formats.
A full description of CADcompare 7.1 can be found on the Metris website.
