Question 1

What is augmented reality inspection?

Accepted Answer

Augmented reality inspection is a quality control method that overlays 3D CAD models onto physical parts in real-time using a tablet or head-mounted display. Instead of comparing a physical part to a 2D drawing, the inspector sees the design intent directly on the actual object — making deviations immediately visible. SuPAR by CDMVision uses iPad-based AR to enable 75% faster inspection than traditional 2D drawing comparison methods.

Question 2

How long does it take to set up an inspection?

Accepted Answer

A typical inspection can be prepared in minutes using SuPAR Composer. Import your CAD model, define checkpoints on the 3D geometry, and publish to the iPad app. Once set up, inspectors on the shop floor can begin AR-guided inspection immediately — no training in CAD software required.

Question 3

Can I request a live demo of SuPAR?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We offer personalized demos tailored to your specific use case and industry. Our team can walk you through the full workflow — from CAD import in SuPAR Composer to live AR inspection on the iPad. Use our Request Demo form or email info@cdmvision.com to schedule a session.

Question 4

How much training do inspectors need?

Accepted Answer

Most inspectors are productive within a single training session. The iPad app guides users step-by-step through each checkpoint, so no CAD expertise is required on the shop floor. Quality engineers who prepare inspections in SuPAR Composer typically need about half a day of onboarding to become fully proficient.

Question 5

What licensing options are available?

Accepted Answer

SuPAR is offered as a subscription license with flexible tiers based on the number of concurrent devices and users. Enterprise agreements with volume pricing and dedicated support are available for larger deployments. Contact our sales team for a tailored quote that fits your organization's needs.

Question 6

Can SuPAR integrate with our QMS or ERP system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SuPAR inspection results can be exported in standard formats (PDF, XLSX) for integration with your existing Quality Management System or ERP. The SuPAR Web Viewer also provides a browser-based interface for reviewing and archiving results, making it easy to connect into established quality workflows and audit trails.

Question 7

Can multiple inspectors use SuPAR simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multiple inspectors can work simultaneously on different iPads, each running their own inspection projects independently. Inspection projects are synced through SuPAR's cloud infrastructure, so quality engineers can publish updated projects and all devices receive the latest version automatically.

Question 8

Is SuPAR data secure?

Accepted Answer

Security is a priority. All data transmission between the iPad, Composer, and Web Viewer uses encrypted connections. CAD models and inspection data are stored securely, and access is controlled through user authentication. CDMVision hosts its infrastructure in German data centers, complying with EU data protection regulations including GDPR.

Question 9

Where is CDMVision based?

Accepted Answer

CDMVision is headquartered in Fellbach, Germany — near Stuttgart, in the heart of Europe's automotive manufacturing region. Our engineering team works closely with quality departments across the DACH region and international customers in automotive, aerospace, and defense sectors.
