Intuitive and easy to use, Inspire is a comprehensive solution that makes measurement simple, saves time, and ultimately improves productivity. With one simple interface, Inspire works with any portable measuring arm or laser tracker for probing and scanning applications.
Featuring unique adaptive measurement modes, Inspire reduces the amount of software interaction so that users spend more time measuring and less time navigating through software. Use any portable measuring arm or laser tracker for probing and/or scanning applications with one easy-to-use instrument interface. Inspire uses discrete point probing data and scanned cloud data in virtually the same manner to further simplify analysis operations.
Designed with performance in mind, Inspire offers live meshing and colour map comparisons in real time. In addition to simplifying the measurement process, Inspire addresses ASME standard GD&T requirements for analysis with a streamlined workflow.
For repetitive projects, Inspire offers an easy solution to create predefined measurement routines. With Inspire’s Action Panel, no scripting knowledge is needed to create robust and guided measurement routines. All geometry features are automatically added to the Action Panel when they are created. Additional functionality is available within the Action Panel such as: creating pop-up messages for user instructions, aligning instruments, changing measurement profiles, and more. This allows users to create robust routines guides measurement, locate instruments, perform analysis, and generate reports with ease.
CAD support
Inspire supports the import of all native CAD formats including CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, NX, standard formats, and more. Updates and new releases of CAD formats are all included with the latest versions of Inspire.
Measurement
Connecting to an instrument has never been easier. Inspire can automatically add and connect to an instrument using predefined parameters without any interaction from the user after initial configuration. Simply set a default instrument and choose whether or not you would like to attempt a connection to the instrument when the project is opened.
Inspire is an all-inclusive package containing all the capabilities needed to collect both scanning and probing data. Switching between acquisition modes is simple too, with just a simple gesture or switch on the instrument to change modes.
All point cloud measurements have an associated clipping plane for the user to measure if desired. Newly collected probed measurements use Inspire’s SmartFeatures to identify and create the correct geometry.
Analysis
All features being measured will display in the graphical Heads-Up Display (HUD) with basic form checks and fit statistics for real-time feedback. By default, and if applicable, a feature’s form check and locational information can be found in the feature’s criteria panel. Inspire will adjust the displayed criteria based on the geometry type and allows for full control to add various GD&T checks and other locational information specific to a feature.
Build cross-sections for 2D analysis of cloud and CAD data. Create and refine a polygonised mesh with unique smoothing techniques. Colorised meshes provide a detailed visual of deviations from a design CAD model or existing mesh.
Reporting
Inspire is equipped with a a dedicated reporting suite built specifically to support Inspire’s unique feature-based measurements. This allows features and analyses to be created before measurements are added to a report. The report will automatically update as measurements are added to features. Add editable screen views to the report, templates, and with additional customisation features easily.
