CAD Comparison

Quickly compare your manufactured parts to their original design.

Nearly every modern product begins its life as a computer-aided design (CAD) file. The difference between this digital design and the physical finished product is at the heart of the product development process. Innumerable manufacturing variables stand between an engineer’s idea and her factory’s output, and linking these variables to outcomes occupies entire engineering professions.

The CAD Comparison tool in Voyager gives engineers deeper insight into the obstacles that stand between them and their vision, making it easy to see how a physical object diverges from its original design. Neptune industrial CT scans can capture both visible and invisible features in a 3D model, while surface scans comprehensively encompass external details. Voyager accepts both data types and offers rapid insights into your parts. By overlaying a CAD file, we’re able to compute deviation from the design and visualize it using color maps.

CAD Comparison is an essential tool for delivering high-quality molded, cast, and 3D printed parts; it instantly reveals signs of warping and tool wear, making it easy to tune design and manufacturing parameters. It can quickly detect flawed manufacturing steps, highlighting machined and stamped features that are misplaced or missing. And it’s an invaluable tool for failure analysis, pinpointing broken parts and capturing deflection.

Running a CAD Comparison takes just a few minutes in Voyager. And with Atlas, our AI engineering co-pilot, it's even easier. Voyager accepts mesh files exported from any CAD software, as well as 3D and CT scan data for comparison. Atlas guides the user through an alignment process, automatically visualizing the divergence between the CAD file and the scanned part. Atlas runs the same workflow to help you compare one scanned part to another with Scan-to-Scan Comparison.

The entire process runs in a web browser, taking just minutes to handle analysis that would otherwise require days of imprecise and expensive article inspection. Our CAD Comparison tools accelerate design iterations, reduce scrap, and cut costs; helping designers and engineers make data-driven decisions that go beyond calipers and 2D drawings.

What’s a Rich Text element?

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
