How Do You Balloon Drawings and Extract GD&T/PMI Data?
A crucial component of the quality management procedure is the ballooning software from High QA. You may save time and money by eliminating the need for manual ballooning and GD&T extraction with one-click auto-ballooning that uses optical character recognition (OCR). You can actually use balloon drawings for your quality process automatically.
See how ballooning and GD&T/PMI data extraction should be done.

Take advantage of 3D MBD in your manufacturing quality workflow
2D drawings have long been used by manufacturing quality engineers for planning and inspection. Many businesses increasingly demand that their suppliers employ a 3D Model-Based Definition (3D MBD) workflow as a result of the growth of Quality 4.0.
For this reason, integrating 3D models into your quality process is now easy thanks to High QA. When the 3D MBD file is loaded in the ballooning software, PMI data is automatically extracted and inflated.
- Automatically and intelligently extract GD&T and PMI from 3D MBD models
- Easily modify and manage extracted GD&T and PMI data
- Use 3D MBD data throughout your manufacturing quality process

Speed Up Ballooning of Tabulated Drawings with Inspection Manager
It is not necessary to manually draft inspection plans for each instance of a part in a parametric or tabular drawing.
With Inspection Manager, you can automatically extract tabulated parameter tables from the drawing, specify tabulated dimensions, and build a tabulated master part record.
The ballooning program will then create part records for any or all tabulated instances with detailed inspection plans for every part with a single click.
