The new concept highly reduces modularity, creating an easy-to-understand product edition landscape that addresses the most important user groups:

• VGSTUDIO MAX Essential
  A comprehensive entry-level package for visual inspection and basic analysis. It includes subvoxel-precise surface determination, simple measurement tools, CT reconstruction, deep segmentation, and introductory porosity analysis.
• VGSTUDIO MAX Dimensions
  The ideal choice for professional metrology. This edition brings together all advanced tools in one package, including full GD&T functionality, wall thickness analysis, nominal/actual comparison, deformation analysis, CAD import with PMI, reverse engineering, and fixture simulation. With features like the Multipart Group, you can efficiently create and manage robust measurement plans across multiple parts.
• VGSTUDIO MAX Analyse
  Tailored for casting and material science applications, this edition combines all voxel-based analysis tools such as porosity and inclusion analysis, fiber orientation analysis, foam and powder analysis, and digital volume correlation. Volume meshing enables seamless transfer of data into simulation workflows.
• VGSTUDIO MAX Battery
  A specialized solution for the battery industry, combining the full capabilities of the Analysis edition with dedicated battery analysis tools.
• VGSTUDIO MAX Pro
  The complete package, offering the full spectrum of VGSTUDIO MAX functionality for maximum flexibility and performance.

Our VGMETROLOGY editions provide clear, tailored solutions for different inspection needs, replacing previous modular setups with a simple and intuitive choice between two powerful options.

• VGMETROLOGY Essential
  A streamlined, entry-level metrology solution (formerly VGMETROLOGY ES) that delivers reliable GD&T-based measurements. It includes everything needed to evaluate MVGL data from VGSTUDIO MAX, as well as STL files and point clouds from optical scanning systems—ideal for users who require accurate results without added complexity.
• VGMETROLOGY Pro
  The complete high-end metrology package for demanding applications. In addition to full GD&T capabilities and automation options, it includes advanced tools such as mold correction, reverse engineering, and CAD import with PMI—perfect for complex, high-precision, and large-scale inspection workflows.

VGinLINE naming in general follows the concept of VGSTUDIO MAX with the exception of the entry-level product, which is an inline version of VGMETROLOGY:

1. VGinLINE METROLOGY. Inline version of VGMETROLOGY for automated processing of optical scanning data.

2.VGinLINE Dimensions.

3.VGinLINE Analyse

4.VGinLINE Battery

5.VGinLINE Pro.

Enables metrologists to write and optimize complex metrology programs on multiple parts with ease.

With intelligent synchronization, all geometry elements, measurements, and coordinate systems are automatically applied across every part in a group. Any changes you make—whether creating, editing, or importing—are instantly reflected everywhere.

Using this logic combined with our CM overview table including statistical process control enables metrologists to achieve robust measurement programs without even leaving our software environment, saving immense amounts of worktime. Without the need for templates, macros, or external tools.

Use one or more multipart groups in your metrology projects and also keep individual parts in the scene. Define exceptions for certain geometry elements or measurements on individual parts. Combine all these possibilities to achieve maximum flexibility – to ideally keep metrology on deformed parts under control.

The result: a simpler, faster, and more efficient workflow—designed to keep you in control.

This new functionality is contained in both VGSTUDIO MAX as well as VGMETROLOGY.
