3D Metrology Software
Autodesk PowerInspect
The universal 3D inspection software for complex free-form parts. A single interface for CMMs, articulated arms, laser scanners and machine tool probes — with the flexibility your quality department needs.
Overview
Quality control integrated on the shop floor
PowerInspect connects inspection, design and manufacturing in a single workflow. It measures parts while still fixtured on the CNC machine, validates tooling and electrodes, generates automatic reports and delivers real-time visibility into deviations — before they turn into scrap.
Key features
Accurate inspection on any device
Universal hardware interface
A single platform for CNC CMMs, manual articulated arms, laser scanners, structured light systems and machine tool probes — no need to learn multiple software packages.
On-Machine Verification (OMV)
Measure parts while still fixtured on the CNC using spindle-mounted probes. Scrap or rework decisions in minutes, with no extra transport or setup costs.
Non-contact inspection
Fast capture of complex surfaces with laser scanners and optical systems. Ideal for flexible parts, freeform geometry and shapes that are hard to probe.
Built-in GD&T
Apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing directly on the CAD model, generating measurement sequences aligned with design requirements and ASME/ISO standards.
Graphical programming
Create measurement sequences by dragging inspection points directly onto the CAD model, with offline simulation that catches errors before execution.
Collision detection
Full offline simulation of the probe path identifies interferences with fixtures and the part itself before the inspection runs on the real machine.
CAD-independent inspection
Measure and qualify parts even when no CAD model is available, creating geometric references directly on the physical part.
Automatic reports
Complete reports with tables, charts and color-coded deviations. Output to SPC and statistical process control, ready for audits.
Applications
Where PowerInspect delivers value
Aerospace and defense
Critical components with tight tolerances, full traceability and audit-ready reports for AS9100 certification.
Molds, dies and electrodes
Dimensional validation of molds, stamping tooling and EDM electrodes, ensuring first article right on the first attempt.
Automotive and series production
In-line quality control with SPC, fast inspection of production parts and PPAP first article validation integrated into the production workflow.
