Your work without the guesswork—see inside every layer

Complex geometries, lightweight structures, and rapid iteration make AM revolutionary, but only if quality can keep up. Traditional inspection methods struggle with internal defects, residual stress, and inconsistencies in powder-based manufacturing. With VG software, you don’t have to rely on trial and error. Printed parts not matching CAD models? Our nominal/actual comparison tools highlight even the slightest deviations. Do you need to ensure internal strength without using excess material? Our volume meshing and simulation modules predict real-world performance. Struggling with powder quality? We provide powder analysis to optimise AM processes from the ground up.

“The main advantage is the visualisation and the rapid evaluation of the scans. VGSTUDIO MAX is very easy to learn, and after a short training period, every user is fully ready to use it.”

Let's tackle your challenges. Together.
Accuracy

Verify complex geometries

Compare printed parts against CAD models to detect deviations. Iteratively optimise your additively manufactured part’s shape to make sure even complex, thin-walled parts fit together perfectly.

SDx - Draft Process
Integrity

Ensure your parts perform

Identify porosity, inclusions, and internal inconsistencies affecting mechanical integrity to ensure your AM parts meet performance criteria. Use these insights to refine printing techniques and improve part consistency.

Innovation

Optimise process parameters

Leverage our specialised powder analysis to identify potential quality issues before the first print. With our range of material analysis options, easily explore new materials and their properties for AM applications.

Key analysis capabilities:

Move from prototype to production with confidence. These are some of the typical inspection tasks you can complete with our software solutions.

Compensation mesh

Utilise deformation fields to correct discrepancies between actual and reference objects

Foam/Powder Analysis

Measure particle size distributions in powder for additive manufacturing

Porosity/Inclusion Analysis

Easily detect, characterise, and visualise porosity and inclusions with volume-toleranced indications
