Geomagic receives full NIST validation from the US government

Geomagic's reverse engineering and 3D inspection software has received a full validation from the USA's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The test verifies accuracy of features in the company's software for a wide range of geometry used in Geomagic Studio 12 and Geomagic Qualify 12. NIST is accepted and recognised worldwide as a leading indicator of accuracy for technology as well as setting and testing standards for it.

"We are very pleased to receive this certification," said Ping Fu, CEO, Geomagic. "This achievement reassures existing and new customers of our continued commitment to excellence in the field of 3D reverse engineering and inspection. It also reflects the constant advances in technology that Geomagic's software engineers achieve almost on a daily basis."

The evaluation covers least-squares fitting methods in both Geomagic Studio and Geomagic Qualify. It was tested on 240 datasets representing geometry types including lines, circles, spheres, cylinders and cones. For example, when compared to the official reference values, results for circles and cylinders were accurate to less than 0.0001 µm in position and radius and 0.0001 arc seconds in angle of tilt.
