Free Geomagic Review software enables enterprise-wide sharing of inspection results
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 18, 2005- Geomagic has released a free software package that enables customers to share inspection results and collaborate throughout the enterprise.
The new software, called Geomagic Review, works with Geomagic Qualify computer-aided inspection software. It is available for free downloading on Geomagic's web site: http://www.geomagic.com/products/review/.
Geomagic Review is being used by Pratt & Whitney's Manufacturing and Development Operations team to communicate and share results from Geomagic Qualify among inspection, design, engineering, partners, contractors and other areas within the enterprise. Managers within these departments in Pratt & Whitney characterize Geomagic Review as a major time and money saver that requires no cash investment for the company.
Geomagic Review offers three principal benefits for product manufacturers:
- It allows graphical information to be shared among engineers in different physical locations, reducing the time it takes to fix a problem detected during computer-aided inspection.
- It provides collaborative tools that improve communication between inspection and design engineers, minimizing the number of design and process changes, and resulting in faster product development and refinement.
- It offers higher return on investment by enabling all those who focus on quality to share information at no additional cost.
Inspection results and analysis generated by Geomagic Qualify – including GD&T analysis, and 2D and 3D comparisons – can be shared with Geomagic Review. Users can open an existing file and manipulate views; select/delete points, curves and polygons; review existing analyses; create new annotations and 2D dimensions; measure distances; and create new reports.
“In just more than four years, Geomagic Qualify has become a critical tool for manufacturers seeking to increase quality inspection efficiency,” says Alberto Griffa, senior product manager for Geomagic Qualify. “Geomagic Review takes many of Qualify's important benefits and spreads them to a wider audience of quality assurance and product development professionals.”
