Inspection

Autopilot for additive manufacturing: Laser scanning while your parts print, seamlessly connecting part design, production, and quality control. Included in the Digital Forge Complete Advanced Plan.

Configure. Scan. Inspect. Report.

Rapid quality control via automated scanning and inspection as you print, so parts can be used immediately. Available on X3™, X5™, and X7™ Industrial printers.

Deliver precise, compliant parts – fast.

Traditionally, parts are often sent out for expensive, time consuming post-print inspection involving specialised equipment and expertise.

With Inspection, you can deliver precision parts faster and at reduced cost. And thanks to its process control data, you’ll always know who printed your parts and when, and what printer/software version was used.
