(Nikon Metrology: Brighton, MI) -- Focus 10, Nikon Metrology’s point-cloud software that streamlines the digital inspection process, offers a completely new user interface and now provides support for handheld laser scanning and tactile probing. Users gain productivity through the new intuitive and attractive user interface that optimizes available space of the 3-D scene. The tabbed ribbon bar provides direct access to the relevant functions for every workflow step. Customers with a laser scanner on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) or a measuring arm can complete the entire inspection process within Focus, from fast and reliable data acquisition and powerful point-cloud inspection to graphic reporting. Furthermore, Focus 10 extends geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) support and features the automated Fuse point-cloud post-processing function, requiring one mouse click to move from a measured point cloud to a smooth mesh.
