                                  • High resolution due to new ‘Blue-Ray’-Laser technology
                                  • Less sensitive to critical surface structures
                            • Measuring Software

                                • OpenDMIS

                                • For multiple parts; the approved measuring software OpenDMIS® is ideal. The intuitive user interface and seamless CAD integration enable the quick creation of measuring programs. OpenDMIS® supports DMIS standard as programming language and allows therefor easy exchange of measuring programs with other measuring systems.
                                • Win3DS Blade Software

                                • Win3DS is the solution for fully automated system integration of CORE; ideal for the complete analysis of turbine blades. For measurements with Win3DS nominal and parameterized data can be used. A powerful library with more than 500 functions allows the easy evaluation of blade concerning parameters – complete, inclusive different functions for alignment.
                                • PointMaster V5

                                • PointMaster is the successful and reliable software from WENZEL with the modules Reverse Engineering, Verification, CAM Milling and Computed Tomography.

                                  All modules are an integral part of the system solution based in the core software PointMaster. In addition the new release offers multicore acceleration with full 64 bit performance.

                                  The success of PointMaster is based on the completely object-oriented handling. Most functions are supported with automatic functions. The easy of use is one of the strong points of PointMaster. It is possible to learn PointMaster in a few hours. Another of PointMaster’s major plus points is the visual assistance provided by the interactive feature ‘Shading’. This displays both artefacts and any areas of discontinuity, as well as feature lines, which are the key for surface segmentation. New functions such as surface trimming by use of B-spline curves, importing surfaces created in CAD systems for surface reconstruction and geometric feature recognition round off the wide range of new features in PointMaster Version 5.0.
