Verisurf, Scantech Sign Metrology Solutions Agreement

Verisurf Software Inc. and Scantech Digital Inc. have entered a metrology solutions agreement. Under this agreement, Verisurf offers complete metrology solutions by combining its  model-based inspection, measurement and reverse engineering software with training and live technical support, along with Scantech 3D scanners and optical trackers. Customers can now receive single-source consultation, quoting, transactional support and relationship management solutions for inspection and reverse engineering applications.

Verisurf software, combined with Scantech 3D scanners and optical trackers, is said to deliver optimized, time-saving workflows with repeatable process control. Verisurf software is built on a full-featured 3D CAD/CAM platform committed to model-based definition (MBD). This can enable users to perform metrology workflows in a CAD environment and maintain model-based digital continuity. According to the company, Verisurf supports all Scantech 3D scanners and optical trackers, plus all other brands and models of stationary and portable CMMs, including CNC CMMs, scanners, arms and laser trackers, used to measure and collect data for metrology applications.

Verisurf is also bundling its metrology application suites with each Scantech 3D scanner or optical tracker. Application suites can provide customers with immediate access to high-quality scan data analysis for inspection and quality reporting, mesh-to-surface and solid modeling for reverse engineering workflows.

Key benefits include automated data extraction and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T); reverse engineering 3D meshes to intelligent 3D CAD models; 3D cloud and mesh editing tools, including feature recognition and auto-surfacing; legacy part recreation for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO); alignment and analysis optimization to reduce scrap and improve efficiency.

Scantech offers a diverse range of 3D scanners and optical trackers with ranging technology tailored to various applications and requirements utilizing photogrammetry tracking, laser line, infrared laser and structured light-based scanning technologies, including wireless and automated 3D systems. The Scantech product line is said to have been developed to provide the maximum accuracy, flexibility and reliability to meet growing dimensional metrology challenges.
