October is here, and we’re carving out some exciting updates! This month brings Inspection planes to CAD comparisons, enabling you to take dimensions and evaluate deviations between your scan and CAD models with more precision. Plus, we've made some important updates to our scanners – scroll down to see more.
Take dimensions on CAD comparisons
You can now create inspection planes on cardinal (x, y, z) slices of CAD Comparisons. That means you can easily dimension differences between scans, meshes, or CAD models, helping you complement the CAD deviation visual and range map with precise measurements – including internal features.
Take measurements on CAD Comparisons – like in this medical connector clamp comparison – to quantify deviations between the two.
To access the CAD comparison cardinal slices, select "Source Meshes Aligned" in the Visualize dropdown in the CAD comparison attributes panel. Once you find the slice of interest, create your inspection plane to take dimensions on the comparison. Just like with single mesh measurements today, those dimensions snap to the surfaces you’re comparing.
More Enhancements
- Sweep of scans – a scanning feature that enables you to take 3 or 5 sequential scans of varying scan duration – now supports offset scanning and part removal / reloading.
- We fixed a scanner bug that occurred if double tapped the manual or auto scan button quickly, which could cause the scan to not process properly.
- Analysis recipes that provide multiple downloadable results now download as a single ZIP file rather than separate files.
