InspecVision Planar from Exact Metrology performs 2D inspection, reverse engineering

Exact Metrology offers Planar from InspecVision. This 2D inspection machine allows manufacturers to verify product quality by performing 2D inspection, CAD comparisons, and reverse engineering in seconds, the company reports. Suitable for shop floor use, the machine requires minimal operator input and helps increase production throughput for flat and formed sheet metal components.

Existing parts can be reverse-engineered quickly, creating DXF or DWG CAD files. The software allows the user to edit and clean the data such as standardization of hole sizes and clean edges and eliminates the need for hand measurement and CAD programming. Physical parts as well as paper, acetate, and electronic image files can be reverse-engineered to create CAD files. Reverse- engineering processes also can be carried out in 3D using optional 3D modules.
