PowerInspect Basic Essentials

Autodesk PowerInspect is inspection and metrology software for verifying parts against CAD using CMMs, portable arms. This hands-on Essentials course teaches a clear, repeatable workflow: set up projects, bring in CAD, choose sensible alignments, measure common features, evaluate tolerances/GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and publish tidy, audit-ready reports. We keep to practical inspection routines that reduce re-measures and make results easy to trust.

• Faster, more reliable checks. Sensible alignments and probe routines cut set-up time and reduce re-measures.
• Confidence in results. Clear GD&T evaluation and colour-maps make conformance easy to explain to stakeholders.
• Audit-ready documentation. Professional, repeatable report templates with traceable inputs and version history.
• Works with your hardware. One workflow that spans portable arms, CMMs.
• Less scrap, fewer delays. Early, evidence-based feedback helps you correct issues before parts move downstream.

Designed for quality technicians, inspectors and manufacturing engineers moving to digital inspection or formalising self-taught skills. Choose virtual classroom, in-centre, or on-site delivery. You can speak to one of our consultants to discuss a bespoke course- Pricing is on enquiry. All training includes materials and an Autodesk-authorised certificate of completion.

You will be able to:

• Create inspection projects, import CAD and plan datum/feature strategies.
• Build robust alignments, calibrate probes and measure core geometric features.
• Evaluate tolerances/GD&T, create surface comparisons and interpret results confidently.
• Produce audit-ready reports and simple templates you can reuse across parts.
• You’ll receive your Autodesk certificate and 30 days of post-course support from our technical team.

• Autodesk-accredited application specialists. All instructors are Autodesk Certified.
• Practical, production-aware delivery. We focus on repeatable routines and readable results – not just button presses.
• Typically, training is delivered on-site, using your CMM hardware to give delegates hands-on experience of combining their equipment with PowerInspect.
