Geomagic Studio and Qualify Receive Highest Accuracy Certification from PTB.RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK Research Triangle Park, research, business, medical, and educational complex situated in central North Carolina. It has an area of 6,900 acres (2,795 hectares) and is 8 × 2 mi (13 × 3 km) in size. Named for the triangle formed by Duke Univ. , N.C. -- Raindrop Geomagic announced that the latest versions of Geomagic Studio reverse-engineering software and Geomagic Qualify computer-aided inspection software have received the highest accuracy certification from Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) is based in Braunschweig and Berlin. It is the national institute for natural and engineering sciences and the highest technical authority for metrology and physical safety engineering in Germany. (PTB PTB Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (Germany) PTB Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro (Brazilian Labor Party) PTB Phosphotyrosine-Binding PTB Powers That Be PTB Power Tab ). The PTB is Germany's technical authority for metrology and physical safety engineering. PTB certification is accepted worldwide as the leading indicator of accuracy, comparability and reliability for software that extracts measurement results from 3D scanners and CMM (Capability Maturity Model) A process developed by SEI in 1986 to help improve, over time, the application of an organization's supporting software technologies. (coordinate measurement machine) devices. Geomagic software automatically processes scan and CMM data from physical objects and transforms it into watertight 3D models for digital reconstruction and redesign, quality inspection, customized manufacturing, and engineering analysis. "Geomagic software has always been known for its automation, ease-of-use, and ability to handle the extremely large files produced by modern 3D scanners," says Ping Fu, Raindrop Geomagic's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "The PTB certification reinforces what our customers have known all along - that our accuracy is among the best in the industry." To receive certification, Raindrop Geomagic's software passed PTB's strict standards for surface- and curve-fitting algorithms. Fitting results were accurate to less than 0.1 micrometers in length and 0.1 arcseconds (1/36,000 of a degree) in angle compared to the official reference value.
