New Software Solution for High Performance CT Data Analysis in 3D

GOM has announced the new software solution GOM Volume Inspect offering innovative volume visualization and inspection features for analyzing volume data collected from any available computed tomography system (CT). It simplifies volume analysis tasks significantly while giving deep insight on a part’s geometries, voids or internal structures as well as multipart assembly situations.

GOM Volume Inspect comes with a full 3D data analysis to evaluate a part’s quality and to optimize the manufacturing process. As the software features a clever on-demand data management concept, it delivers high performance at any time – even in case of huge volume data packages – and speeds up analysis processes. Volume renderer and intuitive generation of sectional views GOM Volume Inspect includes a powerful volume rendering function which visualizes the whole part including the internal structures. Furthermore, the user can cut the object at any point and view it layer by layer in order to see smallest details and gain in-depth information about the quality of the part.

Wide range of analysis criteria and result presentation

The software also automatically detects any volume defect in a part, such as shrinkage cavities, and accurately evaluates the quality by checking defect dimensions including volume, diameter and distance from outer casing. Moreover, it is possible to evaluate the dimensions of CT volume data – be it full-field evaluations, GD&T or inspections of geometric dimensions on the outside of the part as well as on internal structures. GOM Volume Inspect walks the user through the complete analysis process and delivers the measured results in a transparent report with a single mouse click. The report may include snapshots, images, tables, charts, text and graphics.

Unique Feature: Trend Analysis and Part-to-Part Comparison

GOM Volume Inspect also includes a function that allows the user to load volume data of several parts into one project, and execute a trend analysis on this data. This automated comparison is a true advantage for quality assurance managers who measure parts on a regular basis in order to derive a quality trend from the measurement data. The function also works on part-to-part comparisons for example when comparing identical parts delivered from different suppliers.

Many volume inspection features for free

GOM Volume Inspect comes with a broad range of volume inspection functionalities for free, including 3D volume rendering, display of 2D volume slices as well as defect detection and visualization. The free software can be downloaded here: www.gom.com/goto/61ad
