Basic Edition

• Protection of raw data against unwanted exchanges and manipulations
• Detection of simultaneous access to a project file
• Merging of all files, folders, and source data into a single file

• For the simple measuring of distances, gray values, and angles
• Support macros and templates
• Support tolerances

• Work natively with voxel, point cloud, mesh, and CAD data.
• Benefit from less measurement uncertainty, since the fitting of geometry elements is optimized for each supported data type (voxel, CAD, mesh, and point cloud data).
• Repair and optimize corrupt CAD and mesh data during import.
• Convert CAD or mesh data to voxel, voxel to mesh, or point cloud to mesh.
• Create Regions of Interest (ROI) on CAD or mesh data and then use them for nominal/actual comparisons and wall thickness analyses.
• Create ROI templates on the CAD model – before the actual CT scan – and perform fast, automated geometry inspection tasks in combination with evaluation templates.
• Import textured meshes and colored point clouds for a more meaningful documentation and visual analysis of objects.

• Add, subtract, and average voxel data sets.
• Combine data sets that, e.g., have been scanned using different techniques into one meaningful data set.
• Create a “golden” surface from the mean value of several scans.

• Separate data sets into individual parts (Regions of Interest, or ROIs) that may consist of different components, materials, etc. using manual selection and drawing tools as well as semi-automated tools.
• Use subvoxel-accurate segmentation to further increase accuracy.
• Use CAD models as a starting contour for a (locally) adaptive surface determination and easily generate accurate surfaces, especially in multi-material scenarios.*
• Create ROIs from clipping objects.
• Restrict analyses and visualizations to individual ROIs.
• Use the drawing tool with upper and lower threshold values to easily separate even data sets with fluctuating gray values.
• Specifically analyze near-surface properties with the enveloping ROI.

* Requires the Coordinate Measurement Module.

• Export images (color-coded in 3D and 2D), histograms, and data tables in common file formats to work with them in other applications.
• Export all results in a standardized folder and file structure.
• Create comprehensive and completely customizable test reports hand-in-hand with Microsoft Excel (requires Microsoft Excel).
• See the exact position of the respective slice within the 3D model picture in picture when saving slice images.
• Generate reports on all analyses linked to an object.
• Define rules with which VGSTUDIO MAX generates images or annotations, e.g., to generate pictures of all defects exceeding a certain size.*
• Export results of measurements and analyses to third-party Quality Management or Statistical Process Control software via the widely used Q-DAS data exchange format.

* Requires the Coordinate Measurement Module. 

• Automate the analysis of single data sets or a group of data sets with macros and templates.*
• Combine macros like building blocks in various contexts and constellations.
• Prepare and test jobs in VGSTUDIO MAX, execute them in VGSTUDIO MAX, or use them in VGinLINE for automated at-line or in-line inspection.

* May require add-on module(s).

• Save comprehensive inspection plans as evaluations to inspect parts semi- or fully automatically.
• Connect the results of diverse analyses in order to achieve conclusive pass/fail decisions.
• Use evaluations generated with VGSTUDIO MAX for serial inspection in VGinLINE.

• Data quality analysis according to the ASTM E 1695 standard to monitor the CT scan quality over time 
• Text recognition to read out object identifiers such as cavity markers from CT scans

• Combine the results of successive analyses.*
• Combine, e.g., a wall thickness analysis with a porosity/inclusion analysis to classify a defect according to its size in relation to the local wall thickness.

* May require add-on module(s).
