3D Viewer for Quality Control and Manufacturing Inspection

Share 3D reference models with FAI reports, PPAP submissions, and non-conformance records. OmniView 3D for quality teams: incoming inspection, dimensional review, traceability.

Quality teams deal daily with inspection reports, non-conformance records, and FAI dossiers that reference 3D models. Opening the native CAD file (STEP, CATIA, SolidWorks) to contextualize a geometric defect requires a license that most quality engineers don't have. OmniView 3D lets you link the reference 3D model directly from the report — no CAD license required.

Quality Control Use Cases

• FAI (First Article Inspection): attach the reference 3D model to the AS9102 report (SAE/IAQG standard, Rev C since June 2023 — harmonized as EN 9102 in Europe and JISQ 9102 in Japan) so the customer can visualize the approved part
• PPAP: share validated 3D models with the OEM's industrialization teams
• Non-conformance: send a viewer link with the reference model to clarify the defect zone with the supplier
• Incoming inspection: receiving agents visually verify part-to-model consistency without opening CAD software
• Dimensional review: project the 3D model in a quality meeting without a CAD license on the conference room PC

Metrology Formats Supported

Metrology and dimensional inspection software exports to formats compatible with OmniView 3D: STEP (from PC-DMIS, Calypso, GOM Inspect, ZEISS) — nominal CAD model; STL (from 3D scanners GOM, ATOS, Creaform) — point cloud and mesh of the actual part; GLB (from modern quality reporting and visualization tools).

How do I attach a 3D model to an FAI report?

Upload the STEP reference model to OmniView 3D. Copy the link and paste it into your FAI report (Word, PDF, or quality system). The customer opens the link in their browser and sees the 3D model in context — no CAD software, no license. Ideal for aerospace and automotive OEM submissions.

What 3D viewer is best for incoming inspection?

OmniView 3D is the fastest solution for incoming inspection: the supplier uploads the part and its 3D model, shares a link. The receiving agent views the model from their browser or tablet — no installation. Desktop alternatives: CAD Assistant (Open CASCADE, free), eDrawings Viewer (SolidWorks files, free).

How do I document a non-conformance with a 3D model?

Upload the STEP reference model and the STL scan of the non-conforming part to OmniView 3D. Paste both links into your non-conformance form. The supplier visualizes the nominal vs. actual deviation without specialized software. Permanent OmniView links provide document traceability.
