The core function is creating a element. The software calculates the shortest distance between each point on the scan and the CAD surface. This generates a color-coded deviation map (red for positive deviation, blue for negative).
The software includes a "Report" add-on (free in the Basic version in 2019, though later restricted). You can create printable PDF reports with embedded 3D PDFs (U3D/PRC format), allowing stakeholders to rotate the model in Adobe Reader.
The software is built around a user-friendly, project-oriented interface that simplifies complex tasks. The interface includes a 3D view, an explorer for data management, and a reporting section for documenting results. This structure makes it easy to import data, create polygon meshes from point clouds, align measurement data, and perform detailed analyses. Gom Inspect 2019
To complete a standard quality control inspection, follow these phase steps:
The platform provides a complete ecosystem for surface analysis. Users import a reference CAD model and align the scanned mesh to it. The software computes deviation maps to highlight manufacturing defects visually. 2. Comprehensive GD&T Analysis The core function is creating a element
Used in research, such as analyzing tooth movement in dentistry. Getting Started: Best Practices for GOM Inspect 2019
: Checks flatness, cylindricity, and concentricity. The software includes a "Report" add-on (free in
Metrologist Reviews: Gom Inspect (Free Metrology Application)
For automated inspection cells, the 2019 VMR engine offered better robot path planning and collision detection.
Aerospace engineering demands absolute precision. GOM Inspect 2019 inspects complex airfoil geometries, turbine blades, and structural blisks. Its section analysis tools allow engineers to evaluate trailing edges, leading edges, and throat areas against strict aerodynamic profiles. Injection Molding and Casting
The inspector generates a detailed report containing color maps, tables of geometric dimensions, and pass/fail indicators. This report can be exported as a standard PDF or a lightweight 3D project file that can be viewed using the free GOM Inspect viewer. Target Industries and Applications
