Modular Software Architecture for Industrial Inspection
PolyWorks provides a scalable and flexible software architecture that supports multi-device metrology environments. It integrates seamlessly with laser scanners, optical scanners, portable CMMs, and tracking systems, enabling consistent inspection processes across the entire product lifecycle.
PolyWorks Inspector – Point Cloud Inspection
High-Density Point Cloud Analysis
Analyze dense point cloud data to detect deformations, deviations, and dimensional inconsistencies in digitized prototype parts and assemblies at early production stages.
Manufacturing Process Validation
Perform full inspections of first-assembled products to validate tooling accuracy and approve production workflows before mass manufacturing.
Production Cycle Monitoring
Automate inspection routines to measure tool wear, monitor production stability, and detect sudden quality degradation during manufacturing cycles.
Final Product Compliance Verification
Execute automated sample inspections to confirm that manufactured and assembled parts comply with required specifications and quality standards.
PolyWorks Modeler – Reverse Engineering
Polygonal Model Generation
Convert aligned point clouds into accurate polygonal models using tolerance-based adaptive meshing technology, even from incomplete or imperfect scan data.
Advanced Reverse Engineering Workflows
Reconstruct precise polygonal features and apply CAD operations directly to polygonal models for milling, rapid prototyping, inspection, CFD, FEA, and reverse engineering applications.
NURBS Surfacing & CAD Optimization
Intelligent Curve Network Creation
Use automatic feature-tracking tools to create structured curve networks with interactive extraction and precise control.
Controlled Surface Generation
Constrain surfacing operations to predefined curves for higher surface accuracy and predictable geometry control.
Surface Quality & Continuity Enhancement
Adjust NURBS surface rigidity to replicate sheet-metal behavior, producing smooth, ripple-free surfaces with improved continuity.
