All-new SG SmartCapture software introduces advanced features and ease of use capabilities

Optical Gaging Products (OGP®), a world-leading manufacturer of optical and precision metrology systems for industrial quality control, is pleased to announce all-new SG SmartCapture Software, leading a variety of enhancements to its ShapeGrabber family of automated 3D laser scanning systems.

SG SmartCapture offers both advanced features and ease of use functionality to ShapeGrabber systems, making metrology-class 3D scanning easier than ever. Among the improvements, SG SmartCapture delivers automatic 3D scanning and STL file creation, full GD&T (ASME Y.14.5) and GPS (ISO 1101) evaluations, and fast scan data export in STEP file format for reverse engineering applications.

Tim Fantauzzo, VP North American Sales, remarked, "ShapeGrabber systems already offer class-leading 3D scanning suited for metrology applications. With the addition of SG SmartCapture software, now users can easily take that robust scan data and do more with it, easily. By measuring a "golden" or perfect part initially, all subsequent manufactured parts are measured against that original measurement. STL to STL file comparative measurements are easy and accurate in SG SmartCapture and make for a foolproof measurement experience."

SG SmartCapture software offers a direct PolyWorks Plug-In for streamlined workflow, GD&T measurements and fitting with SmartProfile integration, and STEP file reverse engineering for automatic CAD conversion. Fully supported robotic integration is available for automatic part handling and sorting.

David O'Connor, Director of Sales and Marketing at ShapeGrabber, said "I am excited to showcase these vast improvements to ShapeGrabber systems at IMTS in Chicago. Both current ShapeGrabber users and manufacturers that have not yet landed on a laser scanning system will find advantages in the simplicity of the system and its robust features."
