Integrate measurements made with digital displays as well as visual inspections
Collect all relevant data under one roof via a universal data center
Automatically create inspection projects from third-party software measurement results and digitally store them enterprise-wide with PolyWorks|DataLoop™
Import all GD&T control types from native CAD and QIF MBD files to ensure digital interoperability with product definition processes
Measure dimensional control of a scanned or probed object with a more precise device and inject the measured value into the object for reporting purposes
Perform all inspection tasks with or without CAD data using a universal 3D metrology workflow
Follow the same planning process for both portable and CNC CMM metrology
Automatically generated or user-defined Use Play Inspection technology to execute measurement sequences
Use 3D Inspection Reviewer and dynamically updateable inspection reports to implement a measurement-control-centric reporting workflow
Deploy universal inspection projects that can be played back on any 3D measurement device
Preconfigure the measurement workflow for all your measurement devices with part measurement templates
Predefine multiple measurement templates in a single inspection project
Automatically adapt measurement objects and sequences to different measurement principles with conversion tools
Always align correctly
Surface and section best fit
Best fit measured surfaces and sections to their nominal definitions with the option to rotate, translate or constrain within a tolerance zone.
Measurement object best fit
Build your alignment from features, reference targets, surface points or edge points and use weights and axial constraints to optimize results.
Build your alignment from features, reference targets, surface points or edge points and use weights and axial constraints to optimize results.
Align your 3D measurement device while compensating for temperature changes and use beam adjustment to maximize global accuracy.
Measure all necessary dimensions
Universal data processing
Extract measured dimensions from point clouds, polygonal models or probed points, and nominal dimensions from a CAD model or a measured part.
Deviation analysis using color maps
Extract nominal deviations from surface, boundary, section or thickness measurements and analyze them via a color map display.
Feature-based dimensioning
Measure the diameter, location or orientation of a feature, or distances and angles between two features in 2D or 3D, and intuitively configure the display of dimensions.
Intelligent GD&T
Take advantage of an intelligent GD&T engine based on the latest ASME and ISO standards, with advanced DRF, material condition, datum modifier and tolerance zone features.
Profile and Flush & Gap measurement
Evaluate advanced dimensions such as radius, angle, bend, sharpness, flush and gap on fillets, design feature lines and sheet metal part assemblies.
Airfoil measurement
Extract advanced features on fan, compressor, and turbine blades to check and analyze dimensions such as edge radius, thickness, length, width, angle, and area.
Automate Quality Control Tasks
Multi-part data management
Measure multiple parts using different 3D measurement devices and store them in a single project folder or in an online data management solution using an optimized format that minimizes disk space usage.
Play Inspection tool
Use the powerful Play Inspection and Sequence Editor tools to automate measurement workflows by sequencing and triggering actions.
Macro scripting
Add macro scripts to your measurement workflows to apply special techniques, provide custom feedback, or connect with other systems.
Review audit results efficiently
Control views
Organize projects with hundreds of dimensional and GD&T controls into small, logical control groups with individual controls tied to specific alignments and coordinate systems.
FAI
