The combined solution supports nativeimport and editing of all major CAD file types, says Immersion, and italso enables real-time high-accuracy measurement and analysis for partsinspection and reverse engineering projects.

The MicroScribe-Verisurf solution includes capabilities to supporttraditional blueprint part inspection. Additionally, Verisurf canimport CAD model specifications automatically including full geometricdimensioning and tolerancing descriptions. To use theMicroScribe-Verisurf solution, you first validate geometries by takingmeasurements with the MicroScribe portable CMM, which offers accuraciesup to 0.002-inch. Your inspection points are displayed on the computerscreen and tagged as within or out of tolerance.
