(Verisurf Software Inc.: Anaheim, CA) -- Verisurf has released the fifth generation of its Verisurf X software. With model-based geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) inspection technology at its core, the all-new computer-aided inspection and reverse engineering software, Verisurf X5, inspects parts faster and more accurately without the need for 2-D drawings.

Verisurf model-based GD&T data can be:
• Imported from or created on virtually any 3-D CAD/CAM model
• Used for manual inspection or as part of an automated inspection process
• Reported on using a variety of industry formats
“The new X5 is loaded with innovative features that greatly expand the capability of metrology devices, yet this is just the tip of the iceberg,” says Ernie Husted, president of Verisurf. “Our new software has model-based GD&T inspection at its core, making it possible to import model-based GD&T data, create it, inspect to it, and report on it.
“No other inspection software implements GD&T inspection technology to our level,” adds Husted. “It lets engineers say goodbye to 2-D drawings and all of the additional time, money, and inconsistencies that go with them.”
Additional Verisurf X5 features:
• Verisurf’s new 3-D Feature Scan technology automates the collection of discreet inspection points on 3-D CAD models. This gives users all of the flexibility of noncontact 3-D scanning without the time-consuming processing and issues associated with massive point clouds.
• Verisurf’s new Database Write feature formats and writes inspection information to statistical process control (SPC) applications and product life-cycle management (PLM) databases used by major global manufacturers. The feature also supports Microsoft Access and SQL Server database formats for integrating Verisurf inspection data with numerous enterprise databases.
• Verisurf’s enhanced Auto Inspection Planning now performs automatic calculation of composite positional tolerances, eliminating hours of Excel spreadsheet calculations and plotting by quality assurance personnel. Auto Inspection Planning also has a new deviation display column that continuously views all measured deviations.
• Verisurf’s updated MEASURE module has new assembly guidance arrows with resizable digital readout panel. Working in conjunction with Verisurf’s industry leading model-based inspection planning automation, the module helps users take more accurate measurements in the exact order, and at the precise location needed.
