VGSTUDIO MAX CAPABILITIES

Supported data types

Your choice for all common measurement methods

Effortless CAD & CT Integration

VGSTUDIO MAX lets you work with any type of geometry data – computed tomography data as well as CAD, mesh, and point cloud data.

Volume Graphics software:

  • Supports CT data from various vendors.
  • Imports point cloud and meshes in STL, OBJ, and PLY files, including textured meshes and colored point clouds.
  • Understands all neutral CAD data types (STEP and IGES) in its basic edition.
  • Automatically translates CAD views into bookmarks.
  • Repairs and optimizes corrupt CAD and mesh data during import.
  • Offers enhanced auto-completion modes.
  • Replaces CAD geometries with matching geometry elements such as planes, cylinders, etc.
  • Imports native CAD files from CATIA, JT, Unigraphics/NX, Creo, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge with the CAD Import Module.*/**
  • Supports PMI Import (Product and Manufacturing Information) for all major CAD formats providing additional part information such as dimensions, GD&T, layers, annotations, and captions (MBD, model-based definition). Processes can be automated using macros, batch processing, and templates.***
  • Saves a considerable amount of time, since measurement plans do not have to be created manually from technical drawings anymore.
  • Increases efficiency of your quality control by smart conversion of PMI data.

* CAD translation technology supplied by Tech Soft 3D
** Supported CAD formats of the CAD Import Module: CATIA V4 (up to 4.2.5), CATIA V5 (up toV5 6R2023), JT (up to 10.9), Unigraphics/NX (Unigraphics 11 to NX2406), Creo (up to 10.0), SolidWorks (97 to 2024), Solid Edge (2019 to 2024).
*** Semantic PMI import supported by the CAD Import with PMI Module for CATIA V5, Creo, and Unigraphics/NX

Benefits

Independent of and compatible with all your CT hardware. Versatile 3D visualization of very large, multiple-voxel, point cloud, mesh, and CAD data sets in one scene.

Existing CT hardware can be upgraded with software-based artifact corrections and field-of-view extension

Monitoring of CT scan quality to ensure accurate inspection results
