MagicCheck CAD Comparison Module: Streamlining Design Validation
Client Name
TransMagic
TransMagic is a leading integrated CAD translator renowned for its ability to open, view, and query any major 3D CAD format globally. Alongside translation capabilities, it provides a powerful CAD comparison tool known as MagicCheck, designed to simplify and enhance design validation processes.
MagicCheck is a specialized CAD comparison module developed to address the growing need for accurate, efficient, and user-friendly validation tools in design and engineering. This project focused on implementing innovative algorithms to enhance CAD model comparisons, ensuring precise design analysis and quality assurance for users globally.
TransMagic sought to enhance the functionality of MagicCheck by implementing advanced algorithms for Color Mapping and Dot Rendering to ensure precise and user-friendly CAD model comparisons. The challenge was to deliver a solution capable of handling diverse model complexities and varying test scenarios.
Our team addressed this challenge by developing and verifying algorithms through rigorous testing across multiple models and diverse use cases. This ensured the robustness and accuracy of the solution.
Key features implemented in the MagicCheck project include:
- Part-to-Part Comparison:
- Validates two parts by comparing the original master model with the derived check model.
- Determines the level of similarity, enabling designers to identify deviations efficiently.

- Point-to-Part Comparison:
- Utilizes data from CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) or scanning devices to compare X, Y, & Z points from physical prototypes or production parts against the original CAD master model.
- Produces a color-coded heat map (fig.3) to visually represent deviations:
- Within Tolerance: Green zones indicate acceptable deviations.
- Penetrated Inside: Red zones highlight areas where the prototype exceeds boundaries.
- Outside of Model: Blue zones signify undercut regions.
These algorithms empower MagicCheck to facilitate comprehensive 3D model comparisons, ensuring seamless validation across various design and engineering contexts.
