Dimensional inspection is key to implementing long-term solutions for manufacturing process issues. Despite robust quality control, issues may arise post-delivery. Leveraging historical 3D measurements is a game changer, facilitating quick issue identification, planning repairs, enhancing future designs, and safeguarding against the financial risks of warranty claims.
Discover how the latest version of the PolyWorks|Inspector™ Gauge R&R workflow lets you certify and improve your 3D measurement process performed through its universal metrology platform.
Learn how to integrate a CAD model revision with PMI within a piece measurement template in PolyWorks|Inspector™ in minutes instead of hours, using our PolyWorks|PMI+Loop™ MBD solution for CAD software.
Discover how the inspection project data lifecycles delivered by the PolyWorks Digital Ecosystem accelerate the engineering phase of a new product, automate the propagation of CAD design changes, and help build strong long-term know-how and expertise within a manufacturing organization.
Discover how to perform multipiece feature-based inspections without a usable CAD representation more efficiently, with probing guidance plus feature scanning guidance and automatic feature extraction, thanks to the measurement guides technology introduced in PolyWorks|Inspector™ 2022.
Discover how to optimize collision-free 3-axis CNC CMM measurement sequences for the Renishaw PH20 probe head by incorporating 5-axis moves and "head touch” probing.
Discover how manufacturing companies can gradually deploy the PolyWorks 3D metrology digital ecosystem to avoid disturbing operations and obtain efficiency gains at every step of their digital transformation journey.
To obtain trustworthy results, a measurement system analysis (MSA) is performed prior to production through repeatability and Gauge R&R studies. InnovMetric proposes an easy-to-use and fully integrated software solution to perform these studies.
Learn how to efficiently measure and control sheet metal freeform cutouts and part sections by using the enhanced polyline creation and extraction tools along with the new GD&T-compliant line profile tool.
Discover how probing an object using multiple steps can greatly increase the flexibility and power of your measurement sequences with faster run times.
Custom bent tube and rod forms need to be measured to conform to the design callout from engineering drawings or tables. In addition, there is a need to document tubes and rods that have been created in the field, or highly modified for fit and function, as 3D models that can be imported into CAD software. Both the measurement and the CAD-creation operations can be realized easily using the free PolyWorks|Inspector™ macro, IMTube.
Inspecting thin parts made of sheet metal, plastic, or composite material poses a variety of challenges, whether you are using touch-probing or noncontact digitizing measurement tools. PolyWorks® offers a set of tools that facilitate thin part inspection as well as an application mode that presets values so your measurements are made with optimal parameters.
