Simplify document creation to help streamline
part inspection and improve quality   

SOLIDWORKS INSPECTION

SOLIDWORKS Inspection is easy-to-use, integrated with SOLIDWORKS CAD, and available as a standalone application to work with other CAD systems.

Companies can easily deploy it, train their quality department, and start to optimise their inspection and quality processes. This saves time, lowers costs, and wins more business by eliminating the bottlenecks in quality inspection and increasing throughput in manufacturing.

Why Choose SOLIDWORKS Inspection?

SOLIDWORKS Inspection helps to streamline the creation of documents with balloon callouts and specifications by leveraging existing 2D legacy data regardless of file type—SOLIDWORKS files, PDFs, or TIFFs—and automating a manual and tedious process.

Measured inspection values can be entered directly, either manually or automatically, using a digital measuring instrument (such as a USB caliper). SOLIDWORKS Inspection helps designers and quality inspectors virtually eliminate errors, improve time-to-market, and ensure parts are within specifications for improved quality and optimised fit and function.

Key Benefits:

Easy to Use

Enables you to create inspection reports and ballooned drawings in just minutes, for time savings of up to 90 percent

CAD Agnostic

Create your inspection documents regardless of your existing CAD system

Revision Management

Avoid errors and quickly identify changes using SOLIDWORKS Inspection advanced 2D & 3D comparison tools

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Avoid errors and inconsistencies traditionally associated with manual data input

Automatic Balloons

Automatically add balloon callouts with Inspection Dimensions specified by the designer or mechanical engineer

Customisable Inspection Reports

Create industry-compliant inspection reports (such as AS9102, PPAP, and ISO 13485) with just few clicks

Choose the right SOLIDWORKS Inspection Software package for you

SOLIDWORKS Inspection Standard

SOLIDWORKS Inspection Professional

Helps users improve the technical communication with automated creation of inspection documents and repurposing of design data for high-quality graphics, illustrations, and interactive 3D experiences.

Provide users with multiple ways to enter measured values directly into an inspection project. Each characteristic’s value can be entered by manually typing them in, using a digital caliper or importing CMM results.
