GOM: Quick Measurement

GOM has developed the V8 version of its measurement and evaluation software, GOM Inspect Professional. One of the functions enables the tracking of movements and deviations in real time. The live module allows Atos 3D scanners to trace single points as well as complete component geometries in space.

In addition, the software simplifies the analysis of recurring structures, which often occur on mould cavities, gears or connectors. Using the cluster analysis, a complete set of evaluations can be marked and shifted to the next position within a structure. At the push of a button, the software recalculates the individual inspection elements. In this way, the entire inspection process for recurring structures can be repeated quickly.
