GOM Volume Inspect Pro While many contact and visual scanning systems are available to take measurements of the external surfaces of parts, computed tomography (CT) scanning allows users to conduct non-destructive inspection of parts, including their internal structures. Zeiss’ GOM Volume Inspect Pro is well-suited for use with high-value parts with high quality demands. The software performs best when analyzing mono-material parts, especially in the field of dimensional metrology.
What’s new? GOM Volume Inspect Pro, which brings users a variety of more-advanced features than its predecessor, GOM Volume Inspect. The software offers dedicated measuring tools that can inspect injection molded parts for inclusions and voids, and analyze the porosity of a component, the dimensions of its defects and their distance from the outer shell.
Benefits Simplified customization. With just a few clicks, users can set visualizations, evaluations and records to display as they prefer. Many functions can be automated, simplifying and speeding up a range of tasks. For example, GOM Volume Inspect Pro’s Volume Separation function lets users scan a batch of parts at once, then extract parts one by one to simplify individual evaluations and part-to-part comparisons. Users can directly import all common formats of CT data – regardless of the CT system that performed the measurements.
