InnovMetric Releases PolyWorks 2024

InnovMetric, an independent software development company that enables ability to digitally transform 3D measurement processes, announces the launch of PolyWorks 2024. The company says that this enterprise solution sets up a digital thread that lowers the cost of scaling up the use of 3D measurement data by deploying a universal 3D metrology platform and delivering 3D measurement data to engineering and manufacturing teams in real time.

The PolyWorks digital ecosystem accelerates the design, development and validation of products and manufacturing processes. It also controls the quality of individual pieces and assembled products, and helps resolve manufacturing issues as soon as they occur.

This new PolyWorks release lowers the costs related to learning and operating 3D metrology software, managing large point cloud data files, and leveraging 3D measurement data within third-party reporting and analysis solutions:

• The user interfaces of the PolyWorks universal 3D metrology platform have been re-engineered to let users perform inspection tasks and discover new tools intuitively, access frequently used tools more directly, and quickly find the functionalities that apply to selected objects. 
• PolyWorks 2024 can manage 3D measurement data by using cloud storage, which is cost effective and delivers benefits such as instantaneous storage space increase and data file replication across multiple data centers.
• PolyWorks now offers plug-ins that interconnect its data management system to the Excel and Power BI industry-standard reporting and analysis solutions from Microsoft. 

“When facing a customer requirement, we are sometimes confronted with the dilemma of either developing our own solution or leveraging an existing third-party solution. It is always tempting to code a new solution to own the intellectual property over it. For end-users, however, a new solution for which customers are unprepared could increase their operating and maintenance costs,” says Marc Soucy, president of InnovMetric.

Universal platform enhancements

The PolyWorks|Inspector solution helps users measure, control, and analyze 3D dimensions at every stage of the manufacturing process. Users can now:

• Perform inspection tasks and discover new tools intuitively, thanks to a new ribbon menu and an improved interface widget organization.
• Access frequently used tools more directly, reducing mouse movements and clicks.
• Quickly find the functionalities that apply to selected objects by accessing a contextual tab or a simplified contextual menu.

PolyWorks|Inspector 2024 also offers new high-value tools and workflows:

• Surface datum features within datum reference frames
• Contextual control views to analyze surface deviations in multiple alignments and inspect dimensional controls in multiple coordinate systems
• CADless inspection workflows on CNC CMMs
