Inspect a Finished Part

How this works

Open a saved inspection, or start a new one.
Scan the milled or printed part from several angles with the machine camera.
Load the nominal CAD and snap-align it onto the scan.
Inspect the full-field deviation map, pin annotations, and download the PDF report.

The camera and its calibration live behind the cog in the header. They are set once per machine, not per inspection.

Camera connection

Calibration (camera to flange)

1. Scan the part

Camera rides the flange. By default the live KUKA flange pose is read automatically at each shot. Capture from several angles and they merge in KUKA BASE.

For best results, overlap each new angle by about one third with the previous one.

Enter pose manually

Resolution

Fast: quicker, smoother (2x2 binning). High: full sensor detail — recommended for inspection; can take up to 2 minutes per shot.

2. Load the nominal CAD

The reference STEP the part was made to. Every deviation is measured against this model.

No file loaded.

4. Inspect

Every scanned point is measured against the nominal CAD (closest surface, signed by the CAD normal) and painted onto the model. Areas without scan data stay grey and are excluded from pass/fail.
