Written By Wes Rains

Initial Launch Release

Version 0.8.5

Release Date: February 3, 2026

New Features:

File/units management: 

  • Import STL files in either metric or imperial 

  • Save the project as a “.fvproject” file, allowing the analysis to be reexamined at a later time 

Customization: 

  • Option to use light more or dark mode 

  • Enter various user details (included in exported PDFs) 

  • Name 

  • Company name 

  • Company logo 

  • Change preferred units (inches, mm) 

  • Use custom pass/fail criteria 

Analysis: 

  • Select a face and define a datum using a geometric flood-fill algorithm 

  • Perform various analyses on circular flanges: 

  • Radial measurements (moving from ID to OD) 

  • Circumferential measurements (taken about the circumference of the flange) 

  • Average displacement between faces 

  • Evaluation of all measured values against preset or custom pass/fail criteria 

  • Evaluation of overall pass/fail result 

  • Color heightmap of flange faces 

Reporting: 

Automatically generate a nicely-formatted PDF containing the following: 

  • User-inputted company name/logo in top right of every page 

  • Summary of selections, including distance between selected datums 

  • “3D Scan” page featuring top, iso, front, and side views of the inputted STL file (similar to an engineering diagram) 

  • All circumferential and radial measurement results 

  • Radial diagrams featuring the above measurements 

  • Color heightmap for each selected area 

  • Evaluation of overall pass/fail result 

  • Manually entered-in parameters: Name, Client name, location, supervisor, job number, scanner, flange ID, ISO/P&ID #, size, class, line number, line material, manual QA, and notes. 

Miscellaneous: 

  • Automatic software updates 

 Version 0.9.0

Release Date: February 19, 2026

New Features:

  • "Lines" can be added to selections and used to measure pass partitions.

  • Lines consist of a series of depth measurements relative to the parent selection.

  • Lines can be specified by clicking two or more points; measurements will be taken evenly along the line.

  • Lines and their depth measurements are included in the results.

  • Lines can be recolored and renamed to ease distinguishing them.

Improvements

  • A "more" icon + dropdown was added to selections to help declutter the UI.

  • EULA was updated from draft to reviewed version.

  • Selection and Line names can now be edited by clicking.

Fixes

  • Significant code quality improvements.

  • Fixed issue with certain types of bugged STL files crashing the app.

Version 0.9.1

Release Date: February 23, 2026

New Features:

  • Introduced tolerance checking for pass partition lines.

  • Added user-customizable minimum and maximum pass partition height to pass/fail criteria.

  • Pass partition tolerance checking now included in pass/fail checks.

Version 0.9.2

Release Date: February 25, 2026

New Features:

  • When a PDF is exported, client, company, and supervisor as well as equipment and equipment SN are saved by the autofill system. These fields will default to the last-used values for future report creation.

  • Auto fill added for the 'client' or 'equipment used' fields; the previous auto-filled values are shown as options.

  • Auto-filled values are sorted by similarity to the currently-entered value.

  • Values saved by the autofill system can be deleted by the user.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue with the application crashing at export time when 'Analyze Flatness' was unchecked on certain selections.

  • Fixed some rendering and layout-shifting related issues.

Version 0.9.3

Release Date: February 27, 2026

Improvments:

  • Increased error tolerance when excluding outliers for circumferential measurement zeroing.

  • Added a rounding tolerance (equal to maximum possible rounding error of 0.0005in ) to all pass/fail criteria checks.

  • Improved display logic to ensure that small negative values which round to zero don't render as '-0.000'.

  • Introduced download link API on backend, configured to always redirect to the latest version of the FV installer package.

Flange Vision v0.10.0

Release Date: March 25, 2026

In-app payments:

  • New "Usage" view available in settings menu. This can be used to view current usage and open another menu to purchase more if needed

  • New "Purchase more usage" functionality. Includes a simple cart system to allow the user to mix-and-match bundles for their purchase.

  • Integrates with Stripe to offer users the ability to pay for additional usage.

  • 'Prices' system allows us to easily and quickly update the prices listed on the checkout page as needed.

  • Backend integration with Stripe: Upon receipt of funds, Stripe alerts our server of the successful purchase so we can fulfill the order.

Improvements:

  • Introduced QA Reporting Form in staging environment.

  • Made QA Reporting form render in a separate window for ease of use.

  • Automated end-to-end integration testing system to improve certainty in key algorithm correctness and continued integrity.

  • Added system for automatically sending alerts to MyEng Teams channels. Currently used only for sending QA Reports.
