(Delcam plc: Birmingham, UK) -- Delcam will launch the 2011 R2 version of its PowerINSPECT inspection software, which is the first version developed for use on 64-bit computers. Other enhancements include improved visualization of the results, easier creation of automated inspection routines, full integration of digital readout (DRO) functionality, and support for the latest Renishaw probes.

PowerINSPECT is firmly established as a leading hardware-independent inspection software. It combines the ability to work with all types of inspection devices with a comprehensive range of inspection routines for making simple measurements, inspecting geometric features, and  checking complex surfaces. The resulting reports present detailed information in easy-to-read formats that can be understood by all engineers, not just inspection specialists.

The introduction of support for 64-bit computers will enable increased memory use on that hardware. This will be of benefit for more memory-intensive applications where larger CAD files need to be manipulated, especially for complex parts and multicomponent assemblies.

Two developments will make it easier to see results from PowerINSPECT.
