Combine inspection and verification in CNC machining 

Use comprehensive inspection tools to measure parts while they’re still loaded into the machine using spindle-mounted probes. Make informed scrap or rework decisions quickly with machine tool probing.
Digital manufacturing model visualizing a complex surface to identify issues early, reduce setup time, and improve production efficiency.

Meet production goals and avoid expensive work 

Minimize long setup times that compromise machine productivity and overall plant capacity. Save money by highlighting problems early in the process, reducing human errors, and gaining better real-time visibility.

Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect runs on Microsoft® Windows® 10 and Windows® 11. See system requirements for details.

Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect is metrology software used to measure complex 3D shapes using different types of hardware. PowerInspect works with contact-based hardware, such as coordinate measuring machines, articulated arms, or spindle-mounted probes in CNC machines. PowerInspect also works with non-contact hardware (such as structured light scanners). Inspection typically compares a physical component against a 3D CAD model or 2D drawing.

Autodesk Fusion with PowerInspect software is used by manufacturers to monitor and control the quality of parts being produced, as well as inspectors and quality control engineers to inspect parts. CNC machine operators who use on-machine verification also use PowerInspect software to assist with part setup and measurement, ensuring parts are produced to specification and within tolerance.
