May 25, 2021 By WTWH Editor Leave a Comment

Verisurf Software, Inc. announced its new Verisurf 2021 release. More than 25-years ago, Verisurf was the first company to develop PC-based software that could compare physical part measurements to the surface of a CAD model. Today, Verisurf continues to lead the way with its latest release of Verisurf 2021. From Boeing’s Digital Product Definition requirements to PTB and NIST, Verisurf exceeds industry and customer expectations for measurement and inspection automation, designed for today’s manufacturing enterprise.

Verisurf 2021 has new and enhanced features that increase measurement and inspection productivity, from CMM plan creation through execution, particularly for Renishaw PH20 5-axis touch-trigger, and REVO 5-axis scanning probes. Users can also look forward to additional CMM controller support, enhancements for GD&T feature control frames and ballooning, and updated Software Development Kit (SDK) for custom user interfaces, integration of robotics, and automating processes across the manufacturing enterprise.

“We work closely with our customers as we continue the ongoing development of the Verisurf software platform, and are committed to performance, ease-of-use, and universal compatibility with all popular CAD file formats and all new and legacy CMMs,” said Ernie Husted, President and CEO of Verisurf Software. “We have gained the trust of our customers by providing, and continually improving on, practical measurement solutions for Inspection and Reporting, Scanning and Reverse Engineering, Toolmaking, and Assembly Guidance,” added Husted.

Verisurf is the only measurement and inspection software dedicated to Model-Based Definition (MBD) and built on a CAD/CAM platform. This enables greater compatibility, workflow integration, and more complete end-to-end solutions customers require.

Verisurf 2018 Software Update 1

October 9, 2018 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

Verisurf Software, Inc. announced the release of Verisurf 2018 Update 1, the latest update of its popular measurement software for automated quality inspection and reporting, scanning and reverse engineering, tool building and assembly guidance. Advanced new features in this update are based on customer feedback, and deliver increased efficiency, and improved quality functions.

Verisurf 2018 Update 1 extends the Verisurf Enhanced Bundle Adjust feature for high accuracy, large volume measurements using Leica, FARO and API laser trackers.

“At Verisurf we are continually improving the software based on practical use feedback from the field. This is one of the main reasons Verisurf customers are happy to keep their software maintenance up-to-date,” said Nick Merrell, Verisurf Technical Operations Manager, “the new customer driven features further automate the inspection process, speed up reverse engineering applications, and help produce higher quality jigs, fixtures and tooling.”

Auto Align Minimum Zone Fit produces more accurate alignments of parts and features by allowing the centering of alignment errors, which reduces the maximum error result. This new algorithm extends the Verisurf Enhanced Bundle Adjust feature for high accuracy, large volume measurements using Leica, FARO and API laser trackers.

CSV Database Support simplifies integration with software partner applications for First Article Inspection (FAI), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), and Statistical Process Control (SPC) such as InspectionXpert and Dimensional Control Systems.

The update has many other important enhancements including; support for Catia V5 R28 file import, 3D model virtual device display for CMM Master 500 and Renishaw Equator 500, plus Software Development Kit (SDK) support for the import of nine different point cloud and mesh file formats, which improves integration with many brands and models of 3D scanners.

Verisurf Software, Inc. announces Verisurf 2018

September 21, 2017 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

Verisurf 2018 is the latest release of the measurement software for automated quality inspection, reporting, scanning, reverse engineering, tool building and assembly guidance. The new release includes many new features centered around Universal CMM compatibility, quick programming shortcuts and productivity features, and increased probing speed.

Verisurf 2018 Software offers universal legacy CMM compatibility, added productivity features and increased I++ probing speed.

Universal CMM compatibility – All CMMs, including previously closed legacy systems, are now open to Verisurf users; streamlining productivity, training and ensuring manufacturing enterprise compatibility. Expanded Verisurf CMM support does not require controller upgrades or added software, the legacy CMM data is translated allowing the operator to take full advantage of the Verisurf user interface, data management and reporting functionality. This allows legacy CMMs to immediately become relevant once again as part of an enterprise-wide measurement plan.

Added programming shortcuts and productivity features – Including automatic feature recognition, which allows any CAD feature to be selected and immediately added to an inspection plan; quick measurement of torus shapes for parts such as O-rings; ability to use the probe shaft for measuring thin edges, such as sheet metal; improved mesh editing and added mesh Boolean controls for combining and dissecting meshes with intersecting geometry.

Report Manager –Management reporting is a key deliverable from Verisurf Software; added features in 2018 now make producing and delivering reports quicker and easier: Dynamic Datum Reference Frame (DRF) allows the user to create datum alignments in the report manager using measured features; Auto DRF is accessed through the Report Manager Speed Menu and quickly sets up the most common reports utilizing single data reference frames; New drag and drop custom report builder is ideal for creating reports for measurement projects.

Increase in I++ CMM probing speed – Feature and Analysis objects have been synchronized for smooth, fast execution, using Verisurf VDI 3.43.18 or newer. This delivers an exponential increase in automatic probing speeds, reducing inspection time.

Windows Interface – The Verisurf User Interface (UI) continues to evolve in alignment with popular Windows standards. Easy to read icons and enhanced “tool tips” streamline workflows and make applications easy to navigate and learn.

There are many more added-features and enhancements in the new Verisurf 2018 release, which can be viewed in the product Release Notes found on the company’s Website.
