PolyWorks is a powerful 3D metrology software that supports the entire measurement process – from data acquisition to analysis and reporting. PolyWorks|Inspector™ is its flagship module for 3D dimensional analysis and control. It is a universal tool that works with both CMM machines and portable measuring devices.
What makes this module special? First of all, it combines 3D data with CAD models, enables real-time measurements and allows you to measure and scan a wide range of devices: using 3D scanners, measuring arms or structured light systems. All this in one working environment. The system also offers measurement data analysis and management functions for the entire process in an integrated web environment.
How does real-time 3D measurement with PolyWorks work?
Real-time measurement is one of PolyWorks’ strengths. The operator working with a measuring arm or scanner can immediately see the visual effect of their work on the screen. The software detects deviations from the CAD model and reports them in real time.
The software can be used with a wide range of measuring devices, from CMMs to laser scanners. PolyWorks allows you to report measurement data in formats according to customer requirements, e.g. PDF.
Using PolyWorks in real time also means access to statistical analysis tools, such as SPC, which support quality control processes. This allows for quick process diagnostics and prevention of problems in the production process.
Is the automation of 3D measurements the future of industry?
Automation in 3D metrology is no longer a trend – it is a necessity. Companies that want to remain competitive are turning to software such as PolyWorks to automate measurement processes and reduce costs.
Thanks to automation, it is possible to integrate measurements with the production process, which allows for faster error detection and real-time decision making. Control systems equipped with PolyWorks also enable monitoring based on SPC data.
PolyWorks allows you to create automated measurement sequences that work with a wide range of measuring devices – both stationary and portable.
This not only saves time, but also allows for better use of measurement data in trend analysis, deviation diagnostics and production optimisation.
PolyWorks universal measurement process
PolyWorks universal measurement process refers to the software’s ability to perform 3D measurements using various measuring devices, such as portable devices, hand-held 3D scanners and coordinate measuring machines (CNC CMM).
PolyWorks|Inspector is compatible with a wide range of devices, enabling users to perform all measurement tasks with or without CAD data using a single software platform. The software allows all data to be collected in one place, making it easier to manage and analyse measurement results.
This makes PolyWorks|Inspector a universal 3D measurement solution that can be used effectively in various industries and measurement conditions.
Thanks to PolyWorks, process implementation is possible for both manufacturing and assembly companies as well as for those implementing R&D projects. The system works with devices from companies such as Hexagon and FARO, but it can also import data offline from other devices.
Where to look for technical support and how to contact the experts?
Good software is one thing, technical support is another. In the case of PolyWorks, users have access to extensive documentation on the website of the manufacturer. If you want to contact a team that will help you implement PolyWorks in your company, you can count on the professionals from PROram. We offer consultations, training and full support after implementation, from environment installation to advanced application development.
On the company’s YouTube channel PROram, we will soon start publishing a series of tutorials on how to use PolyWorks software in practice.
