Quality Inspection Report Types

For most of our clients, colormap deviation and cross-section analysis reports provide them with enough data to update their manufacturing process. However, we can provide many other reports that help you verify your designs and uncover manufacturing defects.

Colormap Deviation

Colormap Deviation

Characteristics

  • 3D model that you can rotate
  • Highlights deviations between as-built objects and as-designed CAD models
  • Quickly Identify areas in or out of tolerance using color scheme

When To Use

  • Analyze hard to quantify issues such as part warpage or performance surface matching
  • When Go/No-Go results are required
  • Complex or free-form shapes

Cross-Section Analysis

Cross-Section Analysis

Characteristics

  • 2D analysis at specified locations of a model
  • Compares cross-sections of as-built objects and as-designed CAD models
  • Highlights deviations in color
  • Cross-sections can be taken anywhere on model

When To Use

  • Part thickness needs to be verified
  • Specific cross-section shape is desired
  • Further customization of as-built condition

GD&T

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

Characteristics

  • Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
  • Standard method for comparing as-built objects to as-designed CAD models
  • Angularity, circularity, concentricity, etc.
  • Repeatable test with quantifiable results

When To Use

  • When standard GD&T measurements are required
  • Specific quantifiable measurements are tracked across many parts
  • Verify prismatic features built to within tolerance
