Using the [same structured-light projectors](https://polyrix.com/technology/surround-scan?hsLang=en) that perform 3D scanning, PolyScan reprojects measurement data directly onto the physical object. The result? **A color-coded colormap of deviation from CAD, overlaid on the actual part, in real time.** ## What Live.Inspection™ Does With Live.Inspection™, the part itself becomes a visual communication tool. Instead of only interpreting results on a monitor, operators and engineers see the deviations exactly where they occur, making [quality control](https://polyrix.com/services/inline-metrology?hsLang=en) faster, clearer, and more intuitive. ✅ Real-time colormap projection on the part ✅ Perfect for guiding rework and repairs ✅ Improves communication between engineers, technicians, and operators ✅ Reduces inspection time and decision-making cycles ✅ Minimizes scrap and rework costs ## A New Way to Inspect and Collaborate #### A New Way to Inspect and Collaborate Live.Inspection™ projects color-coded deviations directly onto the object, based on actual 3D measurements compared to the CAD model. Whether on the shop floor or during final inspection, it empowers teams to: - Quickly identify and correct problem areas - Collaborate more effectively across departments - Gain a deeper understanding of manufacturing processes - Close the loop between scanning, inspection, and correction ## See Deviations Where They Happen—Instantly #### The projected colormap helps users: - Distinguish within-tolerance zones from out-of-spec areas - Immediately focus attention on high-priority deviations - Visually confirm repairs and validate corrections in real time ## Included in Every PolyScan System Live.Inspection™ is standard across all [PolyScan models](https://polyrix.com/overview?hsLang=en). There is no extra software or hardware required. Just scan, inspect, and project. Ready to See Live.Inspection™ in action? [Book a Demo](https://polyrix.com/contact?hsLang=en#section-2) ## Live.Inspection™ FAQ ### What is Live.Inspection™ technology? ▼ Live.Inspection™ is a screenless augmented reality (AR) quality control solution that **overlays CAD related information, tolerances, and guidelines directly onto part surfaces in real time**, without need for additional screens or glasses, using the PolyScan projectors. Its most common use is as a **color map**, which enables operators to visually compare digital designs with physical parts. ### How does Live.Inspection™ improve collaboration between employees? ▼ Live.Inspection™ provides a shared visual reference by projecting key information directly onto the part. This enables engineers, operators, and quality teams to **work together efficiently, identify defects, tackle reworks, and solve quality issues collaboratively in real time.** ### Can Live.Inspection™ be used to train operators or guide assembly processes? ▼ Yes. Based on the configuration of Live.Inspection™, it can project **assembly instructions, measurement outputs, and operator guidance** directly onto parts. This makes it ideal for operator training, process standardization, and ensuring compliance with manufacturing best practices. ### Does Live.Inspection™ replace traditional inspection reports and data logging? ▼ No. Live.Inspection™ **complements traditional inspection methods** by adding a real-time, visual layer to quality control. It enhances decision-making and problem detection while preserving conventional measurement records for traceability. ### What industries benefit most from Live.Inspection™? ▼ [Automotive,](https://polyrix.com/industry/automotive?hsLang=en) [aerospace](https://polyrix.com/industry/aerospace?hsLang=en), heavy equipment, and precision manufacturing industries gain the most benefit. Live.Inspection™ is particularly effective for **complex or high-precision parts**, where operator collaboration, and fast verification are critical. ### Can Live.Inspection™ project additional information besides deviations and errors? ▼ Yes. Beyond deviation information based on CAD designs, Live.Inspection™ can project **inspection workflows, assembly instructions, operator guidance**, and other critical quality data, helping teams simplify reworks and to make informed decisions on the production floor. ### How does Live.Inspection™ support real-time problem-solving? ▼ By visually highlighting deviations between scanned data and the CAD model with a color map, Live.Inspection™ **allows teams to detect and address quality issues immediately**, helping streamline the rework process, improving first-pass yield, improving inter-personnel communication, and enabling faster decision-making in automated inspection environments.
