First Article Inspection Software



Geomagic Verify is first article inspection software for both contact and non-contact 3D measurement devices. It lets users measure and compare parts to CAD models to find and fix manufacturing defects before they become major problems.

Geomagic Verify measures directly from CAD data, thus reducing the chance for human errors and speeding up the inspection process. Geomagic Verify recognizes features in CAD models and measures them on the fly, so users do not have to set up reference geometry. Geomagic Verify also automatically extracts features from measured data based on parameters set by the user, reducing variability between operators.

Every inspection is recorded by Geomagic Verify. A detailed history tree shows the date of measurement, reason for pass/fail, conditions of measurement and more. Geomagic Verify supports curve deviation, thickness plot, virtual edge deviation, comparison points, curvature plot analyses and more.

Geomagic Verify is built specifically to handle millions of points from any 3D scanner. It also supports many probe-based devices with LiveInspect, Geomagic's scanning/probing interface. Every measurement taken, regardless of the device with which it was collected, is saved in Verify's parametric history tree and can be used throughout the inspection process.

Geomagic Verify offers every 2D and 3D GD&T callout in the ASME Y14.5B standard. It supports in-depth GD&T functionality, such as material condition modifiers and multiple datum reference frames, allowing measurement of an array of features.

Verify features an easy-to-use interface and a straightforward, logical workflow. Every measurement is automatically extracted based on rules set by the user, and Verify provides reproducibility with its automatic feature extraction algorithms for contact and non-contact devices.

Two methods of inspect with Geomagic Verify include probing-based inspection and scanning-based inspection. Probing/contact-based inspection offers the most accurate measurement of features. Features of this method include:

  • Compatible with every major probing device
  • LiveInspect technology guides users on how to align and measure each part
  • Compare to a CAD nominal or measure a part on the fly without CAD
  • LiveDimension intelligently measures dimensions on features
  • Use Verify's extensive GD&T toolset to verify parts
  • Make reports automatically, based on templates that show exactly what the user wants.

Scanning-based inspection, or non-contact based inspection, provides fast and comprehensive measurement of form. Features include:

  • Compatible with all 3D scanners
  • Automatically align point clouds to CAD nominals
  • Generate detailed deviation color maps showing where a part is in and out of tolerance
  • Measure GD&T from a point cloud or mesh
  • Repeat inspections completely automatically just by opening a scan file
  • Make reports automatically, based on templates that show exactly what user wants.
