PTB certification places Geomagic "in the class of the smallest deviations"
The latest versions of Geomagic Studio reverse-engineering software and Geomagic Qualify computer-aided inspection software have received the highest accuracy certification from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) institute. PTB certification is accepted worldwide as the leading indicator of accuracy, comparability and reliability for software that extracts measurement results from 3D scanners and CMM (coordinate measurement machine) devices.
To receive certification, Geomagic software passed PTB's strict standards for surface- and curve-fitting algorithms. Fitting results were accurate to less than 0.1 micrometers in length and 0.1 arcseconds (1/36,000 of a degree) in angle compared to the official reference value. According to the PTB, this places Geomagic software "in the class of the smallest deviations."
The PTB is Germany's highest technical authority for metrology and physical safety engineering. The institute comes under the auspices of the Federal Ministry of Economics and meets the requirements for calibration and testing laboratories as defined by the EN ISO/IEC 1705 international standard.
