Frequently asked questions
Three things nobody else combines: it reads the engineering drawing itself (AI auto-ballooning and a gated auto-inspection), it runs your existing CMM DMIS programs directly on a 3D scan, and the whole suite — including the AI assistant — works fully offline. All of it scanner-agnostic and at an accessible price.
Nominal CAD in STEP, IGES and STL; scans in STL, PLY, OBJ, VTK and VTP. Drawings as PDF (vector or scanned). Reports export to PDF, CSV, Excel and HTML, plus a PAS CMM CSV that loads directly into PAS.
No. Ai-Inspect is scanner-agnostic — any device that produces a mesh scan works (Creaform, GOM, Shining3D, Artec and others), unlike solutions tied to a single hardware vendor. The built-in Scan Tool can also align and merge multiple partial scans into one part.
You load the PDF drawing and Ai-Inspect detects the dimensions, tolerances, GD&T frames and datums, balloons them automatically and builds an inspection plan. High-confidence requirements are measured automatically; anything ambiguous is routed to a guided panel with an explicit reason — accuracy by refusal, never by guessing.
Yes. The DMIS translator parses PAS, CAMIO and PC-DMIS dialects, reconstructs the datum alignments, synthesizes measurement points where the program has none, and replays the program on the scan. It has been validated end-to-end against real CMM result files.
No. The AI assistant runs locally via Ollama and all CAD/scan/drawing data stays on your machine — Ai-Inspect runs fully offline / air-gapped. A cloud AI provider (Anthropic Claude) exists as an optional, separately licensed module that requires explicit opt-in.
The interface is fully localized in Hebrew, English and Russian — including the help center and the AI assistant, which understands measurement commands in all three languages.
Windows 10/11 64-bit, an OpenGL 3.3+ GPU, 16 GB RAM recommended. The optional local AI model needs about 20 GB of disk and benefits from a modern GPU; everything else runs comfortably on a standard engineering workstation.
Licenses are perpetual and machine-locked. After installing, copy your Machine ID from the app and submit a license request from your account; we issue a license file (.lic) for your machine. Optional modules (Drawing Inspector, Cloud AI) are activated with separate codes — no reinstall needed.
Updates ship as a compact update installer (~300 MB) that replaces only the application files — your license, language, settings and the local AI model stay untouched. Update installs take about a minute.
Yes. Record the inspection once as a macro, then either replay it per part or point Batch mode at a folder of scans — each part is auto-aligned, measured and reported (PDF/CSV/PAS) unattended. Replay re-measures on the new scan; it is a true measurement program, not a stored-numbers playback.
Yes — request a demo from the contact page and our team will arrange a guided walkthrough on your own parts and drawings, plus a trial license.
Contact us for a quote — pricing depends on the modules you need and the number of stations. Licenses are purchased outright (perpetual, machine-locked), with optional annual service and updates, volume terms and enterprise agreements.
