Focus Point Cloud Software

Focus Inspection - The reference for point cloud processing

Focus Inspection is today's reference for point cloud inspection. The software offers stunning performance, an intuitive userinterface, and standard macro functionality to automate the entire inspection process.

Focus Inspection provides feature and full part-to-CAD 3D inspection, starting from point cloud data or meshes from CMM scanners, handheld scanners or Computed Tomography (CT). Focus Inspection visualizes inspection results in easy-to-interpret, interactive graphics and reports.

Features

  • Superior point clouding handling
    • Up to 100 million points
    • Powerful and automated feature detection algorithms
  • Full inspection toolbox
    • Full part comparison to CAD or STL
    • Complete set of 2D and 3D features
    • GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
    • Wall thickness, flush & gap, and directional comparison
  • Flexible reporting and data sharing
  • All inspection functions fully automatable
  • Dedicate d inspection modules (e.g. Turbine Blade Inspection)

Benefits


Color map reports clearly indicate local geometry deviations

  • High productivity and data processing consistency with minimum effort
  • Operator-independent results with accurate feature detection algorithms
  • Designed for industrial use by operators and engineers
  • Inspection automation without requiring programming skills
  • Easy-to-interpret and interactive reporting to facilitate decision making

Focus Scan - Fast, easy and accurate data capture for CMM laser scanning

Focus Scan is the driver software for Nikon Metrology laser scanner integrations on CMMs. It provides off-line and on-line scanner path definition, and acquires and pre-processes the raw point cloud data. The software is fully integrated with Focus Inspection, Reverse Engineering and Automation. Focus Scan's off-line module enables users to create, modify and prove out part programs using 3D CAD models, allowing CMMs to be used exclusively for measurement.


Besides requiring simpler scanner motion paths, automatic scan path programming further reduces measurement preparation time.


A breakthrough in validating scan macros is the new point spray feature that simulates a point cloud as if the part is measured on the CMM.

Focus RE Basics - reverse engineering software

Focus RE Basics quickly creates CAD surface models from individual point clouds using a straightforward workflow. Reverse engineering is typically applied when original CAD data is missing, to create CAD from handmade clay models, to update designs, or as input for rapid prototyping of freeform parts and products.
