LEDAS Ltd. today announced that version 3.0 of its LEDAS Geometry Comparison (LGC) software is now available. The new release is dedicated to efficiently processing big sets of 3D CAD data, quickly determining any and all differences in the geometry. LEDAS Geometry Comparison (LGC) technology makes it possible to compare the geometry of 3D parts and assemblies, comprehensively finding all of the differences between similar looking models, and then reporting the variations to users. The new version of LGC provides users with ability to efficiently find 3D models that share the same geometry and topology, even when models are rotated and moved with respect to one other. LGC’s efficient processing of large sets of models is based on the indexing technology developed in-house by LEDAS. Searching for duplicates is clearly an important exercise in removing excessive copies from parts libraries. “The idea behind release 3.0 was to make the processing of big bunches
