The highlights of ZEISS INSPECT Optical 3D​

Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing

Identify deviations quickly and easily

Use ZEISS INSPECT to analyze GD&T. The software takes care of the technical details in the background and incorporates the international standards. In combination with PMI data import, this is how GD&T inspection works in a simple way.

Virtual Measuring Room (VMR)​

Leverage productivity with automated measuring cells​

The Virtual Measuring Room (VMR) enables automatic measuring procedures and represents the real environment in a virtual simulation. Optimize your measurement planning and automate robot programming and reporting processes without a teach pendant. No special robot skills required.​

Virtual Clamping​

Simulate the clamped state of parts – save time and space​

Measure clamping conditions without any fixtures and increase your efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The software calculates the clamped condition of your parts and makes both the design and creation of fixtures superfluous – freeing up your storage space.​

From 2D drawings to report visualization with ZEISS INSPECT Optical 3D

Selected features at a glance​

ZEISS INSPECT Optical 3D accompanies you with powerful features throughout the entire workflow. Find some of them below, but be sure to dive into the full scope of functionalities:​

  • Digital assembly​

    Assemble your parts digitally – no matter where they were manufactured. Thus, you will save valuable time in quality assurance and efficiently reduce the amounts of waste materials.​

  • Surface defect detection​

    With assisted defect inspection tools, ZEISS INSPECT detects quality issues automatically and categorizes them, revealing even smallest defects quickly and efficiently.​

  • Mesh editing​

    From a 3D point cloud to a polygon mesh: this happens quite automatically. The software also helps with smoothing and filling holes.​

  • Philipp Alender

    All individual parts are scanned and evaluated in ZEISS INSPECT. We definitely prefer optical measurement technology for measurements during production. For the simple reason that this is much faster and we can react more quickly to changes in the part – for example, warpage or minor corrections.

  • Frank Sears

    We were able to hit our target of 24 pieces per batch and can inspect three times as many features in a third of the time for the entire product family. The operators on the floor really enjoy the software and what it has to offer, and we’re able to communicate exactly what is going on to other departments.​
