Douglas That's my problem. My definition of slow here isn't necessarily slow, for PC DMIS. However, what the Hexagon salesperson told my company when we were looking at investing the arm, is that PCD is great for production jobs. Take the time to program once and then check over and over in no time flat. What they didn't say, is how much of a time sink it is for a job shop. Check one or two parts and never touch the program again.
In my experience with Verisurf, I was able to import the CAD, touch off a few places to align the part to the model, then create and throw dimensions into a report as I go with live feedback right there on the screen. In PC DMIS I'm doing all the touch points and dimension reporting in advance. There's almost a 4x difference in time compared to the two methods. So I know there's more efficient methods for a job shop environment. I just can't seem to find any real-world information on Inspire.
