MINNEAPOLIS, MN -
Laser Design Inc.,
announced the availability of the new Catia importer for Geomagic
Qualify 8. Geomagic Qualify 8 is the automated
inspection software that speeds processes, provides in-depth analysis, and
ensures repeatability that Laser Design integrates with its 3D laser
scanning systems to provide a complete inspection solution. The new
file import converter allows R16 CAD geometry from Catia v.4 and Catia v.5
to be directly imported into Geomagic Qualify 8SR1. The importer tool
improves the overall quality of the imported geometry and increases import
speed. This enables Catia users to realize the full benefits of part
inspection using 3D laser scanning.
Laser Design's GKS Inspection Services
division employs Geomagic Qualify for inspection projects and it also is
essential to Laser Design customers worldwide in automated reconstruction
and redesign of physical parts and molds, mass production of customized
devices, and build-to-order manufacturing. Geomagic
Qualify is the link between CAD and CAM, providing a fully digital
manufacturing environment. It enables fast, easy-to-understand graphical
comparisons between CAD models and parts for first-article inspection,
inline or shop-floor inspection, trend analysis, 2D and 3D geometric
dimensioning, and automated reporting.
Already a winning combination, Laser Design
scanning systems and Geomagic Qualify 8 with the improved Catia import
capabilities offer significant time and money savings. Inspection and
approval can be completed in hours instead of days or even weeks. Quality
control is performed in-house saving even more time and expense by not
sending parts out to third party vendors. The Geomatic Qualify tool is easy
to use and generates web-ready reports automatically to speed communication
across manufacturing functions. Automated statistical process control (SPC)
on multiple samples shows deviation trends in a manufacturing process. With
greater accuracy, speed, and certified results, no other tool on the market
can beat Geomagic Qualify 8 for inspection applications.
Geomagic, Inc. is a worldwide software and
services company headquartered in Research Triangle Park, NC, with
subsidiaries in Europe and Asia and distributors worldwide. Enabled by
advanced optical measurement systems and 3D-data processing software,
Geomagic enables engineers and
designers to transform scan data from physical objects into highly accurate
digital models. More than 5,000 professionals in industries
such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices and consumer products use
Geomagic software and services to customize products, automate processes,
and increase throughput.
Laser Design, Inc. has been the leading supplier
of ultra-precise, 3D laser scanning systems and services since 1987. Used
for capturing the 3D shape of objects with complex geometries and free-form
surfaces, Laser Design’s Surveyor line of automated and portable scanning
systems are ideal for 3D scanning applications involving inspection and
reverse engineering of complex shaped plastic and metal parts. The
company’s patented laser line-probe technology dramatically reduces scanning
time by collecting data substantially faster and more accurately than
conventional metrology technologies. Laser Design also operates GKS
Inspection Services (www.gks3d.com),
an in-house service division offering complete 3D scanning, modeling, and
dimensional measurement services. Headquartered in Minneapolis, the company
also has an R&D lab in Seattle, a regional office in Detroit, and
distributors throughout Europe and Asia.
