In today’s engineering landscape, numerous design applications exist for creating 3D models. However, when designers convert their models into compatible formats, data loss can occur, necessitating thorough data validation. Recognizing this challenge, our client approached ProtoTech Solutions to develop an application capable of comparing 3D models—both part by part and point cloud to part. This functionality is critical across various sectors, including inspection, manufacturing, and aerospace.

Our client creates multi-CAD interoperability software applications such as 3D CAD file translation, 3D model comparison, geometry repair, collaboration, and viewing technology.
Our team faced several technical challenges to create an effective 3D model comparison tool:
- High Fidelity Detection: We developed a specialized mechanism to accurately detect high fidelity regions within the input geometry, ensuring precision in comparison.
- Variable Point Sampling: Implementing variable point sampling in high fidelity areas was essential for capturing the nuances of the 3D models.
- Color Interpolation: To visually represent deviations between models, we created a mechanism for color interpolation.
- Deviation Mapping: We introduced legends to effectively map colors to deviations and added point and arrow markers to denote specific areas of discrepancy.
- The ProtoTech team began by drafting a comprehensive specification document, ensuring all client requirements were met before development commenced.
- Our dedicated developers provided daily updates on project progress, fostering transparent communication throughout the process.
- We successfully created a robust 3D model comparison application that accurately compared multiple versions of parts and assemblies, highlighting differences with visual clarity.
- Efficient Communication: Regular weekly status meetings and updates kept the client informed, enhancing collaboration and alignment.
- Cost Management: Our team managed the entire development process, eliminating micro-management and reducing overhead costs for the client.
- Innovative Algorithms: Leveraging our previous experience, we developed new algorithms tailored to the application, improving performance and accuracy.
