Verisurf Software, Inc. introduced the  3DGage™ at IMTS, September 10-15, 2012. “The new 3DGage enables manufacturers to quickly implement lean model based inspection right on the shop floor that yield real improvements in production and quality while reducing costs,” said Ron Branch, Product Manager.

The portability and affordability of portable CMM’s combined with 3D model based software is changing design and manufacturing from manual 2D inspection and reverse engineering to highly automated 3D methods that accelerate the process. With the 3DGage, you can customize a system to your needs by choosing from four software configurations, four portable CMM configurations and a variety of probe options.

Rapid Three-Step Inspection

1. Align: Align manufactured part to 3D CAD model by probing part to corresponding alignment targets on 3D CAD model.

2. Inspect: Inspect manufactured part in real time by manually probing or by following automated inspection plans.

3. Report: Report inspection results are automatically generated in HTML and Excel formats.

Complete Reverse Engineering Solution

The 3DGage Portable CMM powered by Verisurf X Reverse Engineering software automates the creation of 3D CAD models from existing parts. Easy to use measuring modes such as; Probe Measuring and Probe Scanning combined with powerful Point Cloud & Mesh Editing, Surface Modeling and Optional Solid Modeling make quick work out of the most complex jobs.

To meet the demand for skilled manufacturing talent the 3DGage extends CAD/CAM education to include modern Quality Assurance, Portable Metrology, Model Based Inspection, GD&T and Reverse Engineering education into STEM education programs.
