InnovMetric has released the latest version of its 3D measurement software Polyworks.
Polyworks 2024 is an enterprise level solution that sets up a digital thread to lower the cost of scaling up the use of 3D measurement data across a company. Acting as a universal 3D metrology platform, the software delivers 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.
The new PolyWorks release aims to further lower the cost of 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 latest release has the following major upgrades:
- The user interfaces of the PolyWorks universal 3D metrology platform have been re-developed 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 large amounts of 3D measurement data efficiently 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.
- The software now offers plug-ins that interconnect its data management system to the Excel and Power BI industry-standard reporting and analysis solutions from Microsoft.
Marc Soucy, president of InnovMetric said, “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.”
“As lowering our customers’ operating costs is a key element of our strategy, we generally prefer to interconnect our digital ecosystem to existing tools. This approach simplifies the adoption of our solutions while maximizing the tools with which customers are familiar. We are proud to offer an open digital ecosystem that brings the rich 3D measurement data to the heart of manufacturing processes in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”
