What is 3D Metrology Software?

3D metrology software is a powerful Application that helps 3D Scanner users perform 3D Inspection and dimensional analysis using 3D scan data. The software works with 3D scan data or connects with 3D scanners that users can use to 3d scan objects, capturing their digital shape. The software then compares the shape of the real object with the CAD design, which is usually made before manufacturing. If the object has any shape and dimensional errors or differences from the design, the software helps point them out. Here are the processes that 3D metrology software helps to complete:

Step-by-Step Workflow for 3D Metrology and Inspection Software

  • Import Data

    • Import the Test Scan Data or 3D Scan: STL, ASC,PLY, or mesh file from the 3D Scanner.

    • CAD Data: Native or neutral CAD formats (STEP, IGES, etc.)

    • Ensure correct alignment of units and coordinate system.

  • Preprocess the Mesh

    • Clean up scan (remove noise, fill holes, smooth)

    • Optimise the mesh if needed

  • Align Scan to CAD

    • Initial Alignment: Manual or best-fit alignment

    • Refined Alignment: RPS, 3-2-1, or datum-based alignment

  • Define Inspection Features

    • Extract features (planes, cylinders, holes, etc.)

    • Create datums if necessary.

    • Add tolerances per GD&T or design requirement.

  • Perform Inspection

    • Compare the scan to CAD

    • Generate deviation colour maps

    • Measure 2D/3D dimensions, angles, flatness, roundness, etc.

    • Identify pass/fail conditions.

  • Create and Customise Reports

    • Add annotated views, results tables, and charts

    • Insert company logo,

    • Export as PDF, Excel, or HTML

Use of 3D Metrology Software in Inspection and Scanning

Precision Inspection

3D metrology software inspects parts to ensure they are manufactured to exact specifications. The software compares the scanned data to the digital model (CAD) to detect any deviations or inconsistencies. These deviations can be dimension differences, surface irregularities, or feature misalignment.

In-Process Inspection and Quality Assurance

3D metrology software is also used for in-process Inspection during manufacturing, ensuring that parts are consistently produced to specification at every stage of the process. Like, instead of waiting until a product is finished, 3D scanners and metrology software allow manufacturers to inspect parts in real-time, even on the production line.

Integration with CAD and CAM Systems

Modern 3D metrology software seamlessly integrates with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) systems, providing a closed-loop inspection process. The software compares scanned data with digital models. The results are fed back to the CAD/CAM systems, ensuring adjustments to the design or manufacturing. This integration catches design flaws before production begins, so any errors during manufacturing can be corrected early.
