InnovMetric will present Polyworks 2016, the universal 3D metrology software platform designed to fully support probing and laser scanning on stationary CNC CMMs. The software is also designed to deliver a universal 3D metrology workflow enabling users to operate any type of portable metrology and CNC CMM measurement device within a common framework from a single software module, using similar tools and methods.
According to the company, Polyworks is a universal hub that interfaces with any type of 3D metrology measurement device.
The software platform enables operators to define a measurement plan without being physically connected to a specific measurement device. Operators can also specify geometry controls on measurement objects and prepare inspection reports. Other features include connection to a non-contact or a contact-based portable metrology device, or to a CMM controller (Hexagon, Mitutoyo, Nikon, Pantec, Wenzel, and I++ servers) to play the measurement sequence. Operators can review measured object geometry controls and reports, or multi-piece inspection results through the built-in SPC functionality.
