PolyWorks 2014

Capturing high-quality point clouds in 3D with a laser scanner used to be a black art, mastered over a long period of time through trial and error. Not anymore.

PolyWorks® 2014 transforms laser scanning into a systematic and objective metrology process by creating polygonal models of digitized parts in real time and computing quality metrics that reveal ineffective scanning methods.

Scanning operators are then able to visually review the areas of the digitized part that do not meet predefined quality criteria, and then scan those areas until quality metrics reach their prescribed values.

Prelude to PolyWorks 2014

Building polygonal models from scan data in real time

PolyWorks 2014 incrementally builds a polygonal model of a digitized part by adding to the model under construction the latest scan pass as soon as it has been captured, a process that only takes a few seconds. This real-time meshing algorithm offers remarkable performance. It can handle in real time, on a laptop for standard engineering applications, the digitizing session for a car body side and the display of 100 million triangles using advanced graphics capabilities.

Real-time access to a polygonal model of the digitized part allows PolyWorks 2014 to compute quality metrics that reveal key scanning issues.

Typical issues include insufficient scan line density (caused by scanning too fast or with the wrong line orientation near a sharp fillet), areas only scanned at a large surface-to-scanner angle, abnormal noise levels caused by specular reflections, or misaligned scans.

Areas that do not meet the target values for each quality metric are immediately highlighted on the digitized part display. Operators may then add new high-quality scans in those areas, delete and rescan areas that are beyond recovery, or entirely remove misaligned scans until the highlighted quality issues are fixed.

GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) is a symbolic language for encoding the functions of each feature of a part and specifying manufacturing tolerances to guarantee assembly and operation.

Release after release, PolyWorks differentiates itself from other metrology products by offering only the rigorous mathematical algorithms prescribed by the international ASME and ISO standards and providing a fully automatic decoding and computation engine that hides the complexity behind measuring GD&T.

PolyWorks 2014 marks the end of a seven-year development cycle in which all major PolyWorks|Inspector™ workflows and user interfaces were rewritten and optimized. Geometry controls are the dimensions of measurement objects whose measured values are controlled by means of tolerances. They usually make up the backbone of an inspection process. PolyWorks 2014 delivers major enhancements related to geometry controls that significantly accelerate the production of a part inspection report from its specifications.
