Metris Releases New Version of Point Cloud Inspection Software

By DE Editors

Version 8.3 of the point cloud-based inspection software from Metris (Leuven, Belgium) focuses on productivity increases and has a number of new features. The software offers feature and full part-to-CAD inspection starting from point cloud data or meshes captured by CMM-based or hand-held scanning solutions.

Focus Inspection 8.3 now handles larger point cloud sizes up to 90 million points. The user can also opt to speed up the part-to-CAD inspection further by converting the nominal CAD model into a more compact mesh model, enabling the user to select between maximum accuracy or maximum processing performance.

Features have been added for automotive sheet metal and body inspection, including improved gap-and-flush analysis. The output of inspection results in DMIS format better integrates point cloud inspection within the existing quality control processes. Other new enhancements have also been made within the software reporting function.
