PolyWorks 2015 for Mac/Windows + Serial number
QUEBEC, QC, CANADA, April 14, 2015 - InnovMetric Software Inc. is proud to announce that its annual 2015 release of the PolyWorks universal 3D metrology software platform is focused on enhancing measurement quality, repeatability, and productivity. Key new functionalities of PolyWorks 2015 include an innovative feature scanning guidance tool and an integrated workflow to perform feature-based inspection in 2D.
PolyWorks 2015
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.
Feature scanning guidance
The groundbreaking innovation of PolyWorks 2014’s real-time quality meshing technology was to compute and display quality metrics that guide laser scanner operators toward delivering high-quality scanned surfaces. PolyWorks 2015 expands these scanning guidance capabilities by computing and displaying quality metrics for features that need to be extracted on scanned data.
PolyWorks 2015 introduces a new user-friendly, well-integrated workflow to perform feature-based inspection in 2D. Inspecting in 2D along planar sections is useful for parts that are too flexible or deformed, such as plastic parts and castings, or for measuring geometry types that are difficult to measure in 3D, like fillet radius and wall thickness.
The new three-step workflow consists of:
Creating a planar section.
Defining nominal features on the nominal component of the section (such as lines, arcs, distances, and angles).
Extracting these features on the measured component of the section.
The new 2D inspection workflow replaces a former manual process, unlocking significant productivity gains by its full compatibility with the PolyWorks automatic project update and DirectReplay™ multiple piece measurement technologies.
Additional enhancements
PolyWorks 2015 also includes productivity-related enhancements:
A new sample concept in SPC, with four new control charts compliant with industry standards, and a direct access to Cpk and Ppk values for samples.
A new high-quality point cloud Data object type that significantly improves performance when using real-time quality meshing along with multiple device positions.
New target-based device position alignment capabilities that meet the requirements of laser tracker operators in the aerospace industry, such as the individual control over the use of a target’s X, Y, Z coordinates, the control over the use of a target in scaling computations, and a target weight. The PolyWorks bundle adjustment algorithm has also been improved to handle device positions oriented to gravity by means of a level sensor.

Coordinate Measurement with PolyWorks
PolyWorks is the universal 3D Metrology Software Platform for processing and analyzing three-dimensional datasets.
The future of metrology depends on the complete and highly accurate acquisition of surfaces. In addition to single point measurements PolyWorks improves the analysis and inspection of entire surface models. This incorporates the whole process from capturing point clouds to processing and modelling surfaces.
As a universal software platform PolyWorks integrates a wide range of optical and tactile 3D- digitizers. Whether in design, quality assurance or surveying: The application range of the software in combination with 3D-measuring devices is almost unlimited.
