AUTODESK POWERINSPECT

Autodesk PowerInspect - Multidevice Metrological Inspection for Industrial Quality Control Autodesk PowerInspect is a professional solution for the measurement and quality control of complex components, combining powerful and flexible software tools to manage coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), articulated arms, 3D scanners, and CNC machine tools. It is the ideal tool for automating inspection processes in production, validating geometries and tolerances, and ensuring compliance of parts with design requirements. With PowerInspect, it is possible to perform dimensional checks on machined components, CAD models, printed or scanned surfaces, easily integrating the data into the production flow. Compatibility with a wide range of devices makes this software extremely versatile in dynamic and high-precision industrial environments. 🔍 Main features of Autodesk PowerInspect • Compatibility with multiple measuring devices: supports manual or automatic CMMs, handheld probes, FARO arms, laser tracker systems, optical scanners and CNC tools equipped with a probe. •Quality control on CAD model: allows you to compare measured geometries with 3D CAD models for a detailed verification of dimensional and geometric tolerances. •Visual and intuitive interface: clear and guided working environment, which allows even non-expert operators to perform reliable inspections 📐. •Fast and automated measurements: generates automatic inspection cycles, ideal for use on CNC CMMs, with a drastic reduction in in-line control times. •Support for PMI and GD&T: advanced verification according to Product and Manufacturing Information specifications, including geometric, positional tolerances and datums. •Offline and online programming: possibility to prepare measurement sequences on CAD models even without connection to the physical device, increasing efficiency 📊. •Detailed and customizable reporting: generation of complete inspection reports in PDF, Excel, HTML format with highlighting of deviations and graphic visualizations. •Dedicated features for molds and tools: measurement of complex surfaces, contact paintings, deviation mappings and wear verification. •Inspection in CNC machine: possibility to carry out quality control directly on the machine tool, reducing the need to move parts. 🧩 Integrated Workflow and Interoperability PowerInspect integrates perfectly with Autodesk CAD/CAM environments such as PowerMill, Fusion 360, FeatureCAM and Inventor, allowing complete management of the production cycle, from design to final inspection. It supports standard CAD formats (IGES, STEP, STL, SAT, Parasolid, CATIA, NX, Creo, SolidWorks) and is compatible with the main manufacturers of metrological devices: Hexagon, Renishaw, Mitutoyo, FARO, Leica, Zeiss and others. 💻 Compatibility and System Requirements 🖥️ Supported operating systems: •Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) PowerInspect is not available in a native version for macOS, but can be used on Mac through virtualized environments such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion or Boot Camp (for Macs with Intel chip). 🔧 Recommended minimum requirements: •CPU: Intel Core i7 / AMD Ryzen 7 (multicore) •RAM: at least 16 GB (32 GB recommended for large models or intensive use) •GPU: DirectX 11 compatible card, at least 4 GB VRAM (NVIDIA Quadro/RTX recommended) •Disk space: at least 10 GB available for installation + space for report and scan data •Internet connection: necessary for activation, updates and synchronization with Autodesk software ☁️ 👥 Who is Autodesk PowerInspect suitable for? PowerInspect is the perfect choice for: •CMM operators and quality technicians who need flexible tools for metrological control in industrial environments •Production managers and process engineers who want to integrate inspection within the production cycle •Manufacturing companies working in the automotive, aerospace, mold, medical and precision mechanics sectors •Workshops and toolmakers that produce high tolerance components and require accurate checks before delivery •CNC machining centers that want to inspect in-machine to eliminate rework and unnecessary machine downtime 🔧 ✅ Autodesk PowerInspect is the complete solution for dimensional control, designed to ensure quality, traceability and compliance at every stage of production. A fundamental ally for the modern industry oriented towards precision, efficiency and the digitalization of quality control.
