The curriculum

New lessons are released one at a time, in order. Each one is short and covers a single job.

Lesson 01· Getting Started

Load models and Auto Align

Load the nominal CAD and the scanned part, then let Auto Align seat the scan on the model: a coarse pose search followed by fine ICP. Four clicks, start to aligned.

Lesson 02· Alignment

Manual Point Pair alignment

When Auto Align cannot find the pose, place the scan by hand: pick three matching features on the CAD and on the scan, apply the point-pair alignment, then refine it with fine ICP and save the aligned scan.

Lesson 03· Alignment

RPS alignment

Constrain the part the way the fixture does. Add RPS targets straight from measured elements, then release axes one at a time until the 3-2-1 scheme is exactly what the drawing asks for — and watch the degrees of freedom close as you go.

Lesson 04· Alignment

Datum alignment (A · B · C)

Build the datum reference frame the drawing specifies. Measure the plane and the bores, assign A, B and C as you go, project the centres onto the datum plane to construct the tertiary line, then build the coordinate system and make it primary.

• 05

  Color map and deviation points

  In production

  Read the deviation map, place measured points and balloons, and set the tolerance band that decides pass or fail.

• 06

  Measuring elements and GD&T

  In production

  Build circles, planes and cylinders from the scan, then evaluate position, flatness, runout and profile against datums.

• 07

  Professional inspection reports

  In production

  Balloon the results, arrange the report in the designer and export a PDF, CSV or a CMM-ready file.

• 08

  Automatic inspection from a drawing

  In production

  Load the PDF drawing, let Ai-Inspect read the callouts and measure every dimension it can certify on its own.
