SOLIDWORKS Inspection Professional
Add-in tool for automate the ballooning of engineering drawings and 3D files with Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI)
SOLIDWORKS - SOLIDWORKS Inspection Professional
For companies that create inspection documents, SOLIDWORKS® Inspection automates the ballooning of engineering drawings and 3D files with Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), minimizes the time needed to record inspection measurements, and streamlines the creation of industry-standard inspection reports by leveraging existing 2D and 3D CAD data.
Quality control and planning often involve the creation of documents such as drawings with balloon callouts and inspection reports. This time-consuming task is usually the responsibility of designers or quality inspectors. They can spend hours every day manually creating all these documents and ensuring the parts they designed are manufactured according to specifications.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection is a First Article Inspection (FAI) and in-process inspection solution that greatly simplifies and automates the reporting process. SOLIDWORKS Inspection is easy to use, integrated with SOLIDWORKS CAD, and available as a standalone application to work with other CAD systems. Companies can easily deploy it, train their quality departments, and start to optimize their inspection and quality processes. This saves time, lowers costs, and wins more business by eliminating the bottlenecks in quality inspection and increasing throughput in manufacturing.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection Professional extends SOLIDWORKS Inspection Standard capabilities and lets you manually or semi-automatically enter measured values directly into an inspection project. With SOLIDWORKS Inspection Professional, you can work directly with 2D/3D CAD data and streamlined workflows.
Capabilities:
- CAD Agnostic
You can create your inspection documents regardless of your existing CAD system, using either the standalone SOLIDWORKS Inspection application or the integrated SOLIDWORKS Inspection add-in. - Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
When working with a PDF or TIFF drawing, SOLIDWORKS Inspection uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read and identify the nominal dimension, plus and minus tolerances, and the type of dimension (such as diametric or linear), helping to virtually eliminate manual input and reduce errors. It works with horizontal and vertical dimensions, split dimensions, notes, hole callouts, finish symbols, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols. - Revision Management
Avoid errors and quickly identify changes using SOLIDWORKS Inspection advanced 2D & 3D comparison tools. - Customizable Inspection Reports
In just a few clicks, you can create industry-compliant inspection reports (such as AS9102, PPAP, and ISO 13485) or use the powerful template editor to develop a report that matches your company’s needs.
Features:
-
Improved and Streamlined Inspection Workflows
Leverage the SOLIDWORKS add-in or the dedicated standalone application to create detailed inspection reports regardless of the workflow. -
PDF/TIFF File Support
Extract characteristic information from 2D PDF (included encrypted documents) and TIFF Files. -
DXF/DWG File Support
Create inspection projects directly from native DXF/DWG files. -
SOLIDWORKS Drawing File Support
Quickly balloon and created inspection reports from SOLIDWORKS Drawings. -
Optical Character Recognition
When working with a PDF file or TIFF image, SOLIDWORKS Inspection can leverage Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read and identify the nominal dimension, plus and minus tolerances, and the type of dimension (such as diametric or linear), helping to virtually eliminate manual input and reduce errors. It works with horizontal and vertical dimensions, split dimensions, notes, hole callouts, finish symbols, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols. -
Automatic Ballooning
Automatically extract and balloon inspection dimensions from 2D and 3D CAD files, and specific PDF documents. -
Customize Inspection Reports
Create and manage the Bill of Characteristics (BOCs), change the ordering, edit the numbering or group/ungroup characteristics. Define tolerance tables to standardize inspection reports and requirements. -
Ballooned Drawing Appearance
Customize the inspection bubble shapes, color, and size. Define presets and apply styles based on parameters such as criticity or inspection method. Adjust balloon's placement. -
PDF Drawing Comparison and 2D/3D Revision Management
Compare drawings, 2D or 3D CAD files’ revisions to quickly identify changes and update quality project. -
Quality Sampling Plans
Effectively plan quality control by defining Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) and calculating sample size, accept, and reject criteria. -
Quality Systems Integration
Export inspection data to quality systems and databases using CSV or XML output formats. Publish directly to Net-Inspect. -
File Management
SOLIDWORKS Inspection integrates with SOLIDWORKS PDM and enables quality managers to manage project information, control design revisions, deliverables, etc. -
Inspection Reports
Export finished ballooned drawings as PDFs or 3D PDFs (when working with 3D CAD files). Export inspection reports to Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets using standard templates such as AS9102 or Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) forms or customized Excel templates. -
SOLIDWORKS Part/Assembly File Support
Leverage SOLIDWORKS Parts and Assemblies with Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) to streamline the creation of inspection reports. -
2D/3D CAD File Support
Open and extract information from other 2D/3D CAD files to create your inspection reports. -
Inspection Measurements
Enter measured values for each characteristic directly into an inspection project either manually or by using a digital caliper. Import results from Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). -
Graphical Pass/Fail Status
Highlight dimensions in green, red, or yellow to easily identify which dimensions are In Tolerance, Out of Tolerance, or Marginally within Tolerance based on the values entered or imported CMM results.
