SuPAR Composer is the desktop companion where every AR inspection project begins. Import your native CAD data, position and optimize the model, and define the exact checkpoints your operators will verify on the shop floor — without recreating a single 2D drawing.
Once a project is prepared in Composer, it publishes straight to the SuPAR iPad app and Web Viewer, turning your existing CAD into a live augmented-reality overlay for first-article, incoming, and in-process quality inspection.
Overview
SuPAR Composer automatically generates tracking geometry from CAD data, enabling precise AR alignment during inspections. Users can define which assembly components are tracked or dynamically highlighted throughout the process, and easily create inspection templates to guide inspectors step by step.
In addition, SuPAR Composer is available as a free 3D inspection viewer, allowing teams to review and prepare inspection projects on any PC.
Use Cases
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Prepare PPAP-ready inspection projects straight from production CAD, so first-article checks follow the engineering intent exactly.
Incoming Goods Inspection
Build reusable checkpoint sets to verify supplier parts against the master CAD the moment they arrive.
In-Process Quality Control
Define critical-to-quality features once and let operators confirm them in AR at each production stage.
Assembly Verification
Overlay the full assembly CAD to confirm components are present, correctly oriented, and complete before sign-off.
Tooling & Fixture Setup
Validate jigs, fixtures, and tooling against design data to catch deviations before they reach the line.
Operator Training & Work Instructions
Turn CAD checkpoints into clear, visual AR guidance that new operators can follow without 2D-drawing expertise.tech
Key Benefits
