Leverage the SOLIDWORKS standalone application or add-in to spin up detailed inspection reports regardless of workflow.
Users can use 2D PDF (including encrypted documents) and TIFF files to extract characteristic information.
Leverage native DXF or DWG files to create inspection projects.
Leverage existing file properties, identify critical dimensions, and start inspection reports before submitting them to Quality Control (QC). Create inspection reports easily from within SOLIDWORKS 2D drawings.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection can use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to automatically read and identify notes, dimensions, tolerances, and dimension types from PDF files and TIFF images. This can help reduce errors by eliminating the need for manual input. Supports Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols, notes, hole callouts, and horizontal and vertical dimensions are all supported.
Save time by automatically extracting and ballooning inspection dimensions from SOLIDWORKS 2D drawings, 3D CAD models, and PDF files. Huge time saver!
Define tolerance tables to standardize inspection reports and specifications, plan, monitor, and change the order of characteristics within the Bill of Characteristics (BOCs).
You can also change the shape, colors, and sizes of the inspection balloons, presets, and designs based on parameters such as criticity or inspection methods.
You can quickly identify changes in drawings, 2D CAD files, or 3D CAD files by comparing their revisions to a quality project and updating it as needed.
Establish Acceptance Quality Limits (AQL) and effectively calculate sample size, acceptance, and rejection criteria to ensure quality control.
You can export inspection data to quality systems and databases using CSV or XML output formats or directly publish to Net-Inspect.
In addition to handling project information, controlling design revisions, and delivering products, SOLIDWORKS Inspection integrates with SOLIDWORKS PDM.
Export your drawings as PDFs or 3D PDFs and your inspection reports as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. You can use standard templates like AS9102 or PPAP forms or customize your own Excel template.
Streamline the creation of inspection reports and integrate SOLIDWORKS Parts and Assemblies with Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI). SOLIDWORKS Inspection fully integrates into SOLIDWORKS MBD (Model Base Definition) for those who are paperless and apply their dimension in 3D space.
Create inspection reports by opening and extracting information from other 2D/3D CAD files.
Enter measurements manually or connect to various digital devices to automate your inspection projects—import inspection results from multiple Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM).
It’s easy to see which dimensions are within tolerance, out of tolerance, or marginally within tolerance by color coding the results. Green means the dimension is within tolerance, red means out of tolerance, and yellow means marginally within tolerance.
