Results are compiled into customizable PDF reports that include interactive 3D views and deviation labels for critical points. New Features in the 2019 Version
Automatically or manually bridges gaps in the mesh data using curvature-based algorithms.
Because GOM Inspect changed dramatically after 2019, tutorials for "GOM Inspect 2020" do not apply to the 2019 workflow. To learn the classic version: Gom Inspect 2019
If you are looking to implement GOM Inspect 2019 into your workflow:
The 2019 version refined GOM’s proprietary triangulation algorithms. It allowed users to import large point clouds (millions of points) and convert them into watertight meshes with optimized polygon reduction. This meant faster loading times and smoother handling of complex geometries like turbine blades or automotive dashboards. Results are compiled into customizable PDF reports that
A common point of confusion that GOM Inspect 2019 clarified well is the difference between surface deviation and actual part quality.
Intel Core i7 / i9 or AMD Ryzen equivalent (high clock speed per core is preferred for mesh computation). To learn the classic version: If you are
Once aligned, the software generates a surface comparison map showing deviations between the actual scan and the nominal CAD using a customizable color scale. This provides immediate visual feedback on manufacturing inaccuracies. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
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.
Uses specific reference points defined by engineering drawings.
