One of the standout capabilities in Gom Inspect 2019 was the comprehensive GD&T toolbox. Users could perform true position analysis, flatness, cylindricity, and profile tolerances directly on the 3D mesh. The software adhered to ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101 standards, making it legitimate for industrial compliance.
Beyond broad surface coloring, quality engineers must check specific geometric entities. GOM Inspect 2019 constructs virtual features on the mesh data, such as: Cylinders (for bores and bolt-hole circles) Planes (for mating surfaces) Cones and Spheres
Mastering 3D Metrology: A Comprehensive Guide to GOM Inspect 2019
Originally available in two tiers (Basic and Professional), the 2019 version—specifically the Basic edition—was offered free of charge. It allows users to analyze triangular meshes (STL, PLY) and CAD data (STEP, IGES) without a license fee.
Ensuring that manufactured parts meet the designed CAD specifications. Gom Inspect 2019
: Establishes local coordinate systems based on physical features.
Import, edit, and refine 3D point clouds and STL/mesh files. It allows for smoothing, thinning, and repairing mesh gaps.
Many legacy industrial systems and CAD formats are perfectly optimized for this specific version.
Automatically filling missing data points in scanned geometry using smart curvature algorithms. One of the standout capabilities in Gom Inspect

In the world of quality control and metrology, software often costs as much as the hardware it runs on. However, in 2019, GOM (now part of ZEISS) released a version of its industry-leading inspection software that disrupted the market: .
. Unlike older systems where individual inspection steps were isolated, GOM Inspect 2019 treats every element as part of a traceable, live process chain. If a CAD model is replaced or a measurement point is moved, the entire project—including alignments, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), and report pages—automatically recalculates. This "teaching by doing" approach significantly reduces the time spent on repetitive inspection tasks. Comprehensive Toolset for 3D Inspection
Accurate comparison requires precise alignment. The software includes: Beyond broad surface coloring, quality engineers must check
A typical inspection project in GOM Inspect 2019 follows a structured, logical progression: Step 1: Data Import
GOM Inspect 2019 features robust GD&T algorithms compliant with ISO and ASME standards. Inspection elements include:
Customize the color bar in your surface comparison to highlight critical out-of-tolerance areas.
: Minimizes global deviations across the entire surface.
