To address these measurement scenarios, the PolyWorks universal platform offers a new feature measurement guide technology to guide probing, scanning, and feature extraction when measuring and inspecting multiple pieces in the absence of CAD data and nominal feature components. For example, in the early stages of a product engineering cycle or after having physically adjusted the design on the shop floor. Manufacturing organizations often need to measure and inspect multiple pieces even though they do not have access to a reliable 3D CAD representation of those pieces.

The collaboration between probing operators and their measurement hardware is raised to a new level by mixed reality display technology that enhances the operators’ perception of 3D metrology.

Digital connectivity between data and people is improved by enabling the deployment of global metadata management strategies and the programming of alerts that automatically detect failing dimensions and notify the right people in real time.

The universal 3D metrology platform now facilitates multipiece inspection when CAD data is not available as well as introduces a universal data hub.PolyWorks 2022 offers new key functionalities that significantly expand the capabilities of its three ecosystem foundations: InnovMetric launched PolyWorks® 2022, the latest release of its smart 3D metrology digital ecosystem.
