From GOM Software to ZEISS INSPECT
The evolution of your software for measurement technology.A continuous evolution
The success story of the GOM software has reached different milestones: always with the goal of constantly improving precision and efficiency. Each new version introduces targeted improvements – from intelligent analysis features and optimized data evaluation to seamless integration into existing systems.
In 2023, GOM software was renamed to ZEISS INSPECT and became even more powerful.
ZEISS INSPECT is our core metrology software, complemented by different product variants.
Even if it is continuously evolving, it remains what it is: Your industry standard for metrological inspections and evaluations. What do you use to control your measuring system? What do you use to perform inspections? What do you use to carry out GD&T analyses? What do you use to create your measuring reports?
The answer is always the same, but just with constant adjustments to get the best for you: ZEISS INSPECT.
The evolution at a glance
The ZEISS INSPECT software over the years-
2025
ZEISS INSPECT 2025
ZEISS INSPECT 2025 provides full flexibility with its app-based structure. The product family grows with ZEISS INSPECT CMM for ZEISS DuraMax and ZEISS INSPECT VMM for ZEISS O-DETECT, enhancing system capabilities. Airfoil Inspection is now accessible as an app, simplifying management and usability. Additionally, ZEISS CORRELATE becomes a stand-alone product, offering increased flexibility and opportunities for independent development.

2023
ZEISS INSPECT
With Release 2023, our software was renamed. One software for all applications: ZEISS INSPECT is the new software that will cover all measurement technologies in the future.
-
2021
GOM Volume Inspect, GOM Blade Inspect
In 2021, the ZEISS Quality Suite (formerly GOM Suite) was released, and along with it the two new products GOM Volume Inspect for analyzing volume data and GOM Blade Inspect as a specilialist solution for inspection blades and airfoils.
-
2015
GOM Correlate
The product made it possible to analyse dynamic processes. GOM Correlate Pro utilises digital image correlation and point tracking algorithms to measure 3D coordinates with sub-pixel accuracy. The software is primarily used in research, teaching and materials testing.
-
2010
GOM Inspect
The first free inspection software on the market with an almost complete range of functions. The aim was clear: to make it easy to get started with 3D inspection.

Update and user information
-
In 2019, the ZEISS Group acquired GOM as a company and integrated it into the division ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions. As a part of ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions, Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology GmbH has increased its powerful technology and software portfolio in the fields of metrology and quality assurance even more. With release 2023, the integration into ZEISS will also become visible in all software products. Our software portfolio is dedicated to make your everyday metrological challenges as easy as possible.
The metrology software ZEISS INSPECT visualizes quality in a simple way and will provide more and more business flexibility in the future. A key advantage is the technological independence: In the future, ZEISS INSPECT will be compatible with all measuring systems – both devices by ZEISS and by other manufacturers. This will considerably reduce the training expenditure and enables you to work seamlessly across products.
-
Next to a number of developments and new features, every release also provides a uniform name concept for all software products. Each name reflects the respective technology.
For example:
- GOM Inspect becomes ZEISS INSPECT Optical 3D
- GOM Volume Inspect becomes ZEISS INSPECT X-Ray
- GOM Blade Inspect becomes ZEISS INSPECT Airfoil
- GOM Correlate becomes ZEISS INSPECT Correlate
- ZEISS INSPECT Correlate becomes ZEISS Correlate
- ZEISS INSPECT Airfoil becomes a app for ZEISS INSPECT
-
Good news for the large user community: With an update to release 2023, the GOM software will be automatically converted to ZEISS INSPECT. You can use the inspection software as usual and do not have to do anything.
-
Yes, please run the ZEISS Quality Suite update available with software release 2023. You can then log in and install ZEISS INSPECT.
-
There will be Free and Pro licenses for the different product variants of ZEISS INSPECT, which can be used flexibly.
-
ZEISS INSPECT helps you to perform simple or complex inspection tasks throughout the entire inspection process – from scanning the part to be inspected to mesh editing, CAD import, required GD&T computations, trend analyses, digital assembly or proprietary inspection to final reporting.
-
You do not have to do anything – all your projects and legacy data will be automatically transferred to ZEISS INSPECT within the course of the update.
-
Yes, they are. The change of name does not affect compatibility. Note that projects saved in a newer software version are not backward compatible to older versions.
