InnovMetric Software Releases PolyWorks 10.1

By InnovMetric

InnovMetric Software Inc. has recently introduced an intermediate version of PolyWorks, its universal metrology software platform for manufacturing applications. With PolyWorks 10.1, InnovMetric increases the productivity of its sheet metal customers. The workflows for specifying and using material thickness, creating and computing surface and boundary comparison points, creating reference points for alignment, laser-scanning sheet metal outer and inner boundaries, and probing sheet metal parts have been dramatically improved, resulting in greater operator efficiency and overall usability.

PolyWorks 10.1 also offers hundreds of major and minor improvements within the PolyWorks/Inspector, PolyWorks/Inspector Probingä, and PolyWorks/Modelerä packages. They include the following:

• The optional CATIA V5 and Pro/E CAD translators now import feature definitions, dimensions, tolerances, and GD&T from native CAD files.
• A new curvature-sensitive smoothing method is available when processing point clouds digitized by laser scanners and area-based digitizers.
• Inspection reporting tools have more flexibility with the introduction of new annotation positioning methods
• For NURBS surfacing applications, a new curve network analysis tool that shows the nature and location of incorrect or inappropriate curve configurations is offered.
• A new tool for fitting N-sided trimmed NURBS surfaces on digitized models will be offered.
• PolyWorks/Modeler offers enhanced curve-editing methods as well as new tools for filling holes in meshes and cutting holes in polygonal and NURBS models using planar curves.

PolyWorks 10.1 is available for free to all customers with a valid support/maintenance contract.
