Lumafield’s Voyager software offers powerful tools for detailed inspection and analysis with its Custom and Revolving Slice Planes. The custom slice tool allows you to define slice planes beyond the standard X-Y-Z planes, providing greater flexibility in viewing off-normal features. This capability enables users to tailor their slice planes to better analyze intricate parts and complex geometries, ensuring a thorough inspection process.
The Revolving Slice Plane tool takes this flexibility further by allowing users to define an axis and pivot point on any volume, then slice through the part by rotating around the pivot point. This tool is particularly useful for inspecting seals for leak paths, analyzing thread engagement, detecting wear between mating cylindrical parts, and conducting assembly analysis in fittings, tubing, and valves. By rotating the slice plane, users can easily visualize the internal features of such parts and identify any defects or wear, providing a more complete understanding of the part’s internal structure.
