Gom Inspect 2019 ((exclusive)) Online

To "make paper" in GOM Inspect 2019 (now known as ZEISS INSPECT Report Pages that document your 3D measurement and inspection results

• Solution: Create a "Mesh Clipping Box" to limit the area of interest before extracting a 2D section.

2. 2D Cross-Section Analysis

Quality control often requires cutting through a part. GOM Inspect 2019 allows you to cut any number of 2D sections. You can measure wall thickness, radius, and distances directly on the section line. The "Curve Manager" in the 2019 version allows for automatic deviation plotting along a spline.

2D Sectioning: Beyond 3D surface maps, users can create inspection sections to analyze 2D profiles. This is particularly useful for checking internal geometries or specific cross-sections of a part. Real-World Applications

Common Use Cases for Gom Inspect 2019

1. First Article Inspection (FAI): Quickly validating the first injection-molded or machined part against CAD.
2. Tool & Die Correction: Identifying high spots on a stamping die and visualizing how much material to remove.
3. Reverse Engineering: Exporting aligned meshes for surface reconstruction in CAD (via STL export).
4. Supplier Quality Audits: Requesting STL files from suppliers and running independent inspections to verify compliance.

Here is a deep dive into the most interesting content and features of GOM Inspect 2019, suitable for users looking to maximize their workflow or understand the software's capabilities.

• Ensure proper scan resolution balancing detail capture and file size; noise at acquisition can propagate into measurement uncertainty.
• Use stable datum selection and constrained alignment for functional tolerancing to reflect real assembly constraints.
• Validate feature fits with residual analysis and report measurement uncertainty where regulatory compliance dictates.
• Automate routine inspections using templates to reduce operator variability and speed throughput.

Data Import: Users can import mesh data (STL, PLY) from any 3D scanner, including laser, white light, and CT scanners.
