PointShape Inspector Software

Industrial 3D metrology software

PointShape Inspector is a powerful 3D metrology software for comparing 3D scan data to CAD design to evaluate and inspect parts.

Quality Control You Can Trust

With advancements in 3D scanning technology, you can now leverage 3D point cloud data that exceeds conventional measurement methods (i.e. manual inspection, CMM). PointShape Inspector empowers you with the tools to have complete control over the inspection process by comparing scan data to CAD. Implementing this platform ensures your products are manufactured of the highest quality standards. It reduces time and cost with a simple workflow, user friendly interface, and precise calculation.

  • Precise quality management process
  • CAD program compatibility (Siemens NX, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER)
  • Export quality management report
  • Customize and automate your inspection process

Directly Import Native CAD Models

PointShape Inspector imports files from all major CAD programs. All formats from Siemens NX, Catia, Pro E (Creo), SOLIDWORKS, SolidEdge as well as Parasolid, IGES, and STEP files can be directly imported into the software without any hassle.
