Creaform VXinspect

VXinspect is Creaform's dimensional inspection module. It runs inside the VXelements platform, which Creaform's newer material calls the Creaform Metrology Suite. It takes measurements from Creaform's handheld 3D scanners, portable probing systems, and photogrammetry and checks them against a nominal CAD model or mesh. Users can align parts by best-fit, entity, or datum methods, then build 3D colormaps of deviations, cut cross-sections, add GD&T callouts such as flatness, cylindricity, true position, and profile, and export the results as reports, including Excel files. Since VXelements 11 in 2023, it has been sold as two modules. VXinspect Analysis is a simpler tool for root cause investigation on one part at a time. VXinspect Quality Control is the fuller package for GD&T and repeatable inspection of multiple parts in later production stages. It is best suited to manufacturers that already own Creaform hardware and want scanning and inspection in one interface. Pricing is not published: buyers get a quote from Creaform or resellers such as GoEngineer, usually alongside a scanner purchase. Its main integration is with Creaform's own devices. Scans from other scanners can come in as STL files, but the software does not drive non-Creaform hardware directly. The main limitation is depth. A reseller comparison rates its advanced inspection capability far below PolyWorks and Geomagic Control X, and notes there is no statistical process control, no link to MES or QC systems, and limited report automation.
