KOTEM, a Quality Vision International (QVI) company, has announced the release of version 4 of SmartProfile, its 3-D GD&T analysis software.

SmartProfile is dimensional analysis software used by metrology professionals worldwide to evaluate measurement data for GD&T compliance. It provides fast, accurate analysis of measurements compared to a part's CAD model, and can be used to confirm GD&T compliance for shape, form, profile, orientation and location on any rigid part. SmartProfile complies with current GD&T standards - ASME Y14.5-1994, ASME Y14.5-2009 and ISO 1101 - including multi-tier position and profile tolerances.
