United StatesThe FARO Visual Inspect™ product suite enables large, complex 3D CAD data to be transferred to an iPad and then used for mobile visualization and comparison to real world conditions. Visual Inspect™ enables real time, actionable manufacturing insight through early stage error detection in the production, construction or design processes as well as their documentation. The 3D CAD data is stored locally on the iPad through an innovative, compressed, mobile format which provides an exceptional degree of flexibility and mobility that together drive increased productivity. In order to create this format, the powerful Visual Inspect Translator (see also https://knowledge.faro.com/Software/Factory_Metrology/Visual_Inspect/Software_Download_for_Visual_Inspect_CAD_Translator) is used and is the basis for incredibly fast loading of extremely large data sets. The Visual Inspect CAD Translator supports virtually all data formats, including 3DXML, ACIS, native CATIA, IGES, Inventor, JT 8.x and 9.x, NX, Parasolid, ProE / Creo, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, STEP, STL, VDA-FS, XCGM. Flexible data transfer from Visual Inspect Translator (PC) to Visual Inspect (iPad) via: • FTP Server • Special flash drive (e.g. PhotoFast Memories Cable) • Apple iTunes • Email • Apple AirDrop • Link to customer-owned intranet

United StatesDesign Engineer
This will be a very powerful and useful tool when it is done! Performance is much better than previous versions. The interface is still very clunky and not very intuitive. Plus no help area (or maybe that's hidden too). Maybe I will get my money's worth over time with the upgrades.
United StatesGreat for showing off my 3d models
The app comes with a companion application for OSX or Windows that allows you to convert your 3d models from other formats. I was able to convert some models from VRML 2.0 (with textures) to the format the app requires, and they look pretty good. None of the screenshots show textures, but it is possible to use bitmap UV textures. I would like to see more options for the conversion of models (including the ability to flip the Up Axis). The ability to easily define a background image would be great too!
