MetMaX 5.0: Smarter Measurements, Less Guesswork

A Practical Look at What’s New in Optical 3D Metrology Software
Pubblicato il 17.06.2025

If you’ve ever wished your measurement software could do more thinking for you (and maybe even make coffee), MetMaX 5.0 gets you halfway there. While it won’t brew espresso, it does bring a host of smart features that make 3D optical metrology faster, more intuitive, and a lot less manual. So you have more capabilities to brew your own coffee.

From CAD to Measurement – Without the Headache

MetMaX 5.0 simplifies the journey from CAD model to finished measurement report. Upload your model, select the features you want to inspect, and the software takes over: calculating optimal probing angles, avoiding collisions, and generating a complete measurement plan. It’s like having a metrology expert built into your machine – minus the coffee breaks.

Focus Probing: Speed Without Sacrificing Accuracy

Instead of scanning entire surfaces, Focus Probing captures individual 3D points and contours directly – quickly and with full metrological accuracy. That means you can measure features like diameters, distances, and edges in a fraction of the time. Ideal for high-throughput environments or when you just want to get results before your lunch break.

Contour Scanning: For When Details Matter

Need to capture complex edge geometries or freeform shapes? Contour Scanning in MetMaX 5.0 lets you trace and evaluate detailed profiles with high precision. It’s especially useful for parts with functional edges or wear-sensitive zones, where every micron counts.

Offset Clamping: Smarter Setup, Fewer Errors

MetMaX 5.0 introduces offset clamping, which allows you to define and manage clamping positions independently of the part’s coordinate system. This is a big win for repeatability and flexibility, especially when working with fixtures or multi-part setups. No more re-aligning everything from scratch when switching parts.

Data Decimation: Keep What Matters, Drop the Noise

Large datasets can slow things down. With data decimation, MetMaX 5.0 intelligently reduces point cloud density without compromising accuracy. You get faster processing, smaller file sizes, and cleaner results – all while keeping the critical details intact.

TXT Export: Because Sometimes Simple Is Best

Need to share results with a system that doesn’t speak XML or fancy formats? The new TXT export option gives you a clean, readable output that’s easy to integrate into legacy systems, spreadsheets, or custom workflows. It’s a small feature with big practical value.

Designed for Humans, Not Just Engineers

Despite its technical depth, MetMaX 5.0 is refreshingly easy to use. The interface is clean, the workflows are logical, and the learning curve is gentle. Whether you’re a seasoned metrologist or someone who just got handed the QA keys, you’ll be up and running quickly – and confidently.

Why It Matters

In modern manufacturing, precision isn’t optional – and neither is speed. MetMaX 5.0 helps you deliver both. It reduces manual effort, increases repeatability, and integrates seamlessly into your existing processes. The result? More reliable measurements, fewer surprises, and a QA team that can focus on what really matters.
