Twyn is a mobile augmented-reality platform for visual quality inspection in manufacturing.
What Twyn is
Twyn is a mobile augmented-reality platform for visual quality inspection in manufacturing. It overlays CAD models on physical parts so operators can identify deviations in real time. A tablet camera provides automatic, markerless registration and tracking. Twyn Studio prepares inspection cases, while Twyn View runs them on iOS tablets. The platform accepts JT, STEP, CATIA, and IGES industrial 3D CAD files without prior conversion. Inspection cases can include checklists, spatial inspection points, assisted deviation detection, and automatic inspection-point creation. Results may contain photos, annotations, and markups, with reports exportable to XLS, CSV, and PDF. Twyn 2.6 allows work instructions, specifications, reports, images, CSV, Excel, and PDF files to be attached to inspection points. Projects can be distributed through cloud, Microsoft Teams, and email. The interface and reports support 15 languages. Visometry is headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, and offers a 30-day trial with pricing by request.
