Live.Inspection™

Transforming Parts into Visual Canvases — Real-Time Feedback for Smarter Manufacturing

Included with every PolyScan system, Live.Inspection™ is a patented Polyrix technology that turns any scanned part into a live display surface. Using the same structured-light projectors 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 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. There is no extra software or hardware required. Just scan, inspect, and project.

Live.Inspection™ FAQ

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.
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.

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.

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.
Automotive, aerospace, 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.
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.
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.
