With just one software to master, dramatically reduce your operational costs by increasing measurement specialist competency, eliminating metrology silos, boosting employee mobility, and improving overall teamwork efficiency.

 

Interface with all 3D measurement devices thanks to a universal digitizing hub

 

  • Operate all portable probing devices through direct hardware plug-ins
  • Interface with all point cloud scanning devices through direct hardware plug-ins or measurement file import
  • Connect to major brands of CNC CMMs through direct drivers or I++
  • Integrate measurements performed with digital gauges as well as visual checks

 

Bring all relevant data under one roof through a universal data hub

 

  • Create inspection projects automatically from 3rd-party software measurement results and share them digitally enterprisewide with PolyWorks|DataLoop™
  • Import all GD&T control types from native CAD and QIF MBD files to ensure digital interoperability with the product definition processes
  • Measure a dimensional control of a scanned or probed object with a more accurate device and inject the measured value in the object for reporting purposes

 

Perform all inspection tasks with or without CAD data using a universal 3D metrology workflow

 

  • Follow the same planning process for both portable and CNC CMM metrology
  • Use the Play Inspection technology to execute autogenerated or user-defined measurement sequences
  • Leverage the 3D Control Reviewer and dynamic updateable inspection reports to implement a measurement-control-centric reporting workflow

 

Deploy universal inspection projects playable on any 3D measurement device

 

  • Preconfigure the measurement workflow for all your measurement devices with piece measurement templates
  • Predefine multiple measurement templates within one inspection project
  • Adapt measurement objects and sequences to different measurement principles automatically with conversion tools

 

Complete Dimensional Analysis and Quality Control Toolbox

At the heart of PolyWorks|Inspector lies a powerful inspection engine with parametric data handling, mathematical algorithms certified by PTB, and extensive visual and audio feedback capabilities. It allows users to extract meaningful information from their measured 3D data, automate the inspection process when more than one piece is measured, and structure the presentation of measurement results to facilitate enterprisewide digital collaboration.

Universal data handling

Extract measured dimensions from point clouds, polygonal models, or probed points, and nominal dimensions from a CAD model or a measured part.


Deviation analysis using color maps

Obtain surface, boundary, cross-sectional, or thickness measured-to-nominal deviations, and analyze them through a color map display.


Feature-based dimensioning

Measure a feature’s diameter, position, or orientation, or distances and angles between two features, in 2D or in 3D, and configure the dimensions’ display intuitively.


Smart GD&T

Benefit from a smart GD&T engine based on the latest ASME and ISO standards, with advanced DRF, material condition, datum modifier, and tolerance zone capabilities.


Profile and Flush & Gap gauging

Evaluate advanced dimensions on fillets, design feature lines, and sheet metal part assemblies, such as radius, angle, bending, sharpness, flush, and gap.


Airfoil gauging

Extract advanced features on fan, compressor, and turbine blades to control and analyze dimensions, such as edge radius, thickness, length, width, angle, and area.
