This is the "magic" of GOM Inspect. The software follows a parametric workflow, meaning every step of the inspection—from alignment to the final report—is traceable. If you replace the scan data of Part A with a scan of Part B, the software automatically re-calculates all measurements and updates the report. This is a massive time-saver for series inspection. Why Choose the 2019 Version?

Traditionally, measuring flexible components like sheet metal or plastic injection-molded parts required expensive and complex physical clamping fixtures to simulate their mounted state. GOM Software 2019 introduced "Virtual Clamping," a world-first feature that uses FEM calculations to simulate the clamping condition using only the natural (free state) scan data of the part. This eliminates the need for physical fixtures, streamlines the measurement process, and reduces costs, while providing results exactly comparable to those of physically clamped parts.

Plastic parts undergo severe shrinkage and warpage during cooling. GOM Inspect 2019 simplifies the analysis of complex plastic housings by overlaying nominal CAD profiles to visualize warpage, helping engineers modify mold tools accurately. Casting and Forging

Checking if two scanned components will fit together before they are physically joined. System Requirements

First article inspection (FAI), shrinkage and warpage analysis.

Maximizing efficiency in GOM Inspect 2019 relies on adhering to its structured linear data workflow:

GOM Inspect 2019 offers an extensive suite of tools for handling three-dimensional measurement data. Its capabilities can be categorized into four main pillars: mesh processing, CAD comparison, GD&T analysis, and reporting. Mesh Processing and Editing

: Since files often import in different locations, you must align them.

GOM Inspect is a professional software used for 3D coordinate measuring, dimensional analysis, and quality control. It is widely used to compare physical 3D scans (point clouds) against CAD models (Nominal data).

You can import solid models in common formats like STEP, IGES, or JT . In the professional version, you can directly import native CAD files from CATIA, SolidWorks, or NX.

The user can confirm or reject the suggestion. Confirmed causes train a local, lightweight model, making future suggestions smarter over time.

Aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities use GOM Inspect to check airfoil profiles and turbine blade geometries. The software profiles leading and trailing edges to ensure optimal aerodynamic performance and safety compliance. Injection Molding and Plastics

Solid State Drive (SSD) for fast file caching and project loading. 5. Software Licensing: Free vs. Professional

Beyond visual color maps, precise numerical analysis is crucial. GOM Inspect 2019 features complete GD&T evaluation according to international standards (ISO and ASME). Users can measure and evaluate form, orientation, and location tolerances, including: Flatness, cylindricity, and sphericity. Parallelism, perpendicularity, and angularity. Position, concentricity, and profile tolerances. Parametric Inspection and Teaching

Uses specific reference points defined by engineering constraints.
