Powerful 3D software solutions from GOM

GOM is a leading manufacturer of optical measuring systems and offers powerful GOM software solutions from a single source. The building block software concept meets the widely differing requirements of our customers from the manufacturing process through to quality control.

All 3D software solutions are a part of GOM’s industrial metrology systems and also partly available as stand-alone packages.

GOM Inspect

GOM Inspect Software

Evaluation Software for 3D measuring data

GOM Inspect Professional and GOM Inspect are software packages for the analysis of 3D measuring data for quality control, product development and production. The GOM software is used to evaluate 3D measuring data derived from GOM systems, 3D scanners, laser scanners, CTs, CMMs and other sources.

3D Meshes and CAD

Import of CAD data, measurement plans and 3D point clouds, creation and editing of polygon meshes.

3D Inspection

Alignment of measuring data to nominal data, dimensional analysis (2D, 3D, GD&T, SPC) and creation of measuring reports.

Free Viewer

GOM Inspect is a free viewer for 3D scan data, measuring reports and CAD data.

Certified Software

The GOM Inspect software packages have been tested and certified by the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The GOM software has been placed in category 1, the category with the smallest measurement deviations.

Parametric Inspection

The GOM software is based on a parametric concept, which forms the underlying foundation for every function. This parametric approach ensures that all process steps are traceable, thus guaranteeing process reliability for measuring results and reports.

Trend Analysis

The underlying parametric concept of the GOM software makes it possible to implement a trend analysis for multiple evaluations, for example, in the statistical process control (SPC). This allows a full-field evaluation of several parts or stages within a single project.

Functions

Free GOM Inspect Software

GOM Inspect is a free 3D inspection and mesh processing software for the shape and dimension analysis of 3D point clouds and serves as a viewer for measuring results and CAD data. The free software is designed for users who process and evaluate 3D data.

In GOM Inspect, the parametric functionality is not fully available. It ensures the traceability of measuring data, however, the creation of templates, Teaching by Doing and the parametric inspection functionality are only available in GOM Inspect Professional.

GOM Correlate

GOM Correlate Software

Evaluation Software for 3D Testing

GOM Correlate Professional and GOM Correlate are software packages for digital image correlation (DIC) and 3D motion tracking for a comprehensive understanding in materials research as well as in static and dynamic component testing.

Digital Image Correlation

Digital image correlation (DIC) is an optical non-contact method to measure 3D coordinates for the evaluation of deformation.

3D Motion and Deformation Analysis

Component concept for the analysis of translatory and rotatory movements (6DoF).

Free Evaluation Software

GOM Correlate is a free software for the evaluation of material and component tests.

Parametric Inspection

The GOM Correlate software is based on a parametric concept, which forms the underlying foundation for every single function. This parametric approach ensures that all process steps are traceable, thus guaranteeing process reliability for measuring results and reports.

Customizable Mathematics

For specific evaluations, GOM Correlate Professional provides an interface that allows the implementation of user-defined mathematics and formulas.

Free 2D Image Correlation

GOM Correlate supports the evaluation of digital image series or movie files. Including the complete evaluation and reporting possibilities from GOM Correlate, the software is a cost-effective solution for 2D DIC evaluations and motion analyses with already existing cameras.

Functions

Free GOM Correlate Software

The free GOM Correlate software provides access to all measuring results created in GOM Correlate Professional and ARAMIS Professional, which leads to an improved interaction between the departments responsible for measurement, analysis, design and development, as measurement projects can be shared.

The parametric concept is not fully available in GOM Correlate. Measuring data are fully traceable, however, the creation of templates and the customizable mathematics are only available in GOM Correlate Professional.

Download and Upgrade

GOM Correlate can be downloaded free of charge, without any commitment and time limit on the GOM download page.
GOM Correlate Professional differs from GOM Correlate in respect to the import of native CAD formats, the active parametric concept as well as 3D DIC and 3D motion analysis.

Open Data Formats

Open Data Formats

A changing customer manufacturing and metrology environment has led GOM to identify a number of critical software areas which could lead to significant process efficiencies and integrity improvements.

One problematic area identified is where measurement results, evaluations and reports are often only available in closed data formats. Thus it cannot be guaranteed that such data is available in the long term or useable after a few years.

As a system provider GOM knows of the importance of integration of its technical measurement solutions into the process chain of the users. For this purpose, GOM develops open data formats and thus provides a simple exchange or an optimized archiving of measuring and inspection data.

GOM Inspection Exchange Format / Elements (XML)

The GOM Inspection Exchange Format allows the open data exchange of 3D inspection elements for an open handling of measuring and analysis data.

Among others, the GOM Inspection Exchange Format includes primitives, CMM elements, point clouds, sections and touch probe points (no polygon meshes). It is available as of GOM software v6.1.1. This is an open source format and can be implemented without limitations.

With GOM Software Version 8, this format was extended to process additional elements via XML (e.g. meshes, curves, …) and is now called “Elements (XML)” in the software.

The format description is available in English:

The previously published format is also supported:

GOM 3D (.g3d)

With the GOM 3D format, GOM provides a free data format for 3D datasets. This format is faster in reading and saving data, and is more flexible than the known STL format.

The GOM 3D format is provided since 2002 and today is supported in the established CAD/CAM software packages.

A description of the data format is available in English:
