Add custom controls to the global list of controls for example, those measured using manual gauges.

Access a global list of dimensional controls sorted by characteristic index, making it the ideal tool to prepare first-article inspection reports.Using the new Control Reviewer in PolyWorks|Inspector or in the free PolyWorks|Viewer, measurement specialists and manufacturing specialists can now: PolyWorks 2017 also empowers reviewers to investigate measurement results contextually in 3D with dynamic navigation tools.” “With the new dimensional-control-centric approach in PolyWorks 2017, the PolyWorks|Inspector 3D metrology project is the report! By enabling measurement specialists to communicate results directly in 3D, considerable productivity gains are guaranteed for our customers. Oftentimes, this traditional approach requires back-and-forth communication with measurement specialists to extract additional information from the 3D inspection project,” said Marc Soucy, president of InnovMetric.

For reviewers, interpreting results found in static tables and snapshots within extensive reports can be challenging, frustrating, and inefficient. With 3D inspection projects designed for planning and executing measurements, time-consuming manipulations are required when sharing measurement results using standard 2D reports. Then, the results have to be thoroughly reviewed by manufacturing specialists to make informed engineering decisions. “Because they provide invaluable feedback on manufactured parts and on the performance of the manufacturing process, 3D measurements must be efficiently planned and executed by measurement specialists.

It also provides a major technology upgrade for large-volume metrology applications, and a unique approach to real-time collision analysis for more efficient CNC CMM project setups. PolyWorks 2017 delivers a new control-centric reviewing workflow – a key upgrade for all portable metrology and CNC CMM measurement specialists that need to share large metrology projects, containing hundreds of dimensional and GD&T controls, with colleagues, customers, and suppliers. QUEBEC, Canada, – InnovMetric Software Inc., the leading provider of universal 3D metrology software solutions, today launched PolyWorks 2017, the latest release of the company’s universal 3D metrology software platform.
