Rapidform XOV is the ideal solution for inspecting parts with a 3D scanner. It borrows a powerful concept from the CAD world: every inspection job generates a history tree, so you can easily modify or repeat the inspection process any time. XOV combines in-depth inspection functionality with highly accurate algorithms certified and tested by leading metrology labs. And it reads native files from Siemens NX, CATIA V5 and Pro/ENGINEER, including dimensions, tolerances and datums.

The Most CAD Friendly Point-cloud Inspection Software

With XOV, you can import your CAD part files, and dimensions, tolerances, datums and alignment information all come in automatically. Native import is available for Siemens NX, CATIA V5 and Pro/ENGINEER (for SolidWorks, see InspectWorks). Parts from other CAD systems can be imported via Parasolid, STP, or IGS, and Rapidform XOV will automatically detect features and allow you to quickly define dimensions and tolerances to be inspected.

Macro-free Inspection Process Automation

In XOV, you've got a simple interface similar to popular CAD applications, so running through the inspection process is a breeze. Just import the CAD nominal, open the scans of your part (or use liveScan to run your 3D scanner inside XOV), and you're ready to go. Every alignment, deviation color map, dimension and tolerance that you measure is added to the history tree, so you can track exactly what you've done and change anything at any time. No other point cloud metrology software lets you tweak your inspection process so easily. Imagine that you're finishing up an inspection job, only to notice your part isn't properly aligned to the CAD model – no problem! With XOV, you simply change the alignment, and the software recalculates every measurement and regenerates an inspection report.

Powerful Capabilities for the Most Demanding Applications

There's a reason Rapidform XOV is used by almost every major automaker and thousands of other companies: it has in-depth functionality to complete the toughest inspection jobs. Sophisticated alignments, ANSI Y14.5b compliant GD&T and extensive deviation analysis capabilities let you perform detailed inspections of your parts. Sheet metal, castings, plastics, tooling and machined parts can all be measured and compared to CAD models in XOV.

Automatic Inspection Repetition

Because Rapidform XOV tracks every step of the inspection process, once you've inspected one sample of a part, every subsequent sample can be inspected automatically. XOV recognizes features in the scan data and measures them on the fly without any user interaction needed. So the next part you inspect is just one step from beginning to end. You don't need to write macros to automate your work because Rapidform XOV is history-based just like Rapidform XOR.

Proven Accuracy, Super Speed and Huge Data Capacity

When it comes to inspection, every calculation counts. That's why Rapidform XOV's geometry calculation algorithms have been tested by America's NIST, Britian's NPL and independently certified by Germany's PTB metrology authority as Class 1 accuracy. Top manufacturers around the world trust Rapidform XOV to measure thousands of parts every day.
