Verisurf Software Inc. announced that its integrated CAD/CAM conversion and validation software, Validate, now includes direct access to an enhanced standalone version of Kubotek Kosmos Validate software. The two companies have reportedly been working together since 2011 to create the Verisurf Validate module, which runs within Verisurf and supports CAD/CAM translation validation for customers who need to meet Boeing Standard D6-51991. Kubotek Kosmos maintains enhanced versions of its software with added features and bi-directional compatibility between all popular CAD/CAM software programs and file transfer protocols, and Verisurf Validate customers are now You can access the version directly.
3D Model-Based Definition (MBD) allows manufacturers to reduce errors and avoid manual data re-entry that occurs with traditional drawing-based communication processes. In the MBD process, the original 3D model becomes the authoritative dataset against which all manufacturing is validated. To ensure that critical data is not lost or altered when transferred to specialized manufacturing and quality verification software, OEM quality assurance systems typically require suppliers to document the validation of all translations. This is typically part of established Product Acceptance Software (PAS) requirements introduced by the OEM (e.g. Boeing Standard D6-51991 Rev N Section 3).
To maintain the digital thread in manufacturing, it’s important to convert all CAD/CAM data efficiently and accurately. Verisurf is said to be the only measurement, reverse engineering, and inspection software built on a full-featured 3D CAD/CAM platform with intelligent MBD. It is designed to ensure data integrity and allow users to perform metrology workflows in a seamless CAD environment while maintaining model-based digital continuity.
Verisurf software is compatible with all CAD file formats, and the Verisurf Device Interface (VDI) communicates with all 3D measurement devices for universal compatibility. Verisurf’s modular design allows users to quickly move from reverse engineering to inspection to tool building, and enables repeatable process control across the manufacturing enterprise to efficiently capture and process measurement data for all 3D metrology applications. .
