InnovMetric PolyWorks Metrology Suite 2025 IR10

InnovMetric, the independent software development company that empowers manufacturers of every size to digitally transform their 3D measurement processes, announces the launch of PolyWorks 2025. This new major release of the PolyWorks enterprise solution delivers a digital thread framework that defines, streamlines, and supports the flow of dimensional inspection information enterprisewide. It enables industrial manufacturers to improve the performance of their inspection workflows, facilitate teamwork, prevent unauthorized access to data, and ensure process traceability.

PolyWorks 2025 introduces key enhancements to the three fundamental software components required to deploy an end-to-end digital thread for dimensional inspection: the universal metrology software platform, data management on a central server, and digital connectors to interconnect 3D measurement to other enterprise solutions. These enhancements include:
– Inspection project templates to manage and deploy best practices for metadata and measurement methodologies
– Piece-inspection locking to protect important information and prevent editing by other users
– View-only inspection projects to review measurement results in 3D without sharing proprietary or confidential data
– A Web-based approval workflow to assign, review, and approve or reject piece inspections

Universal Platform Enhancements
The PolyWorks|Inspector universal metrology software platform allows quality control teams to perform all the planning, execution, and analysis tasks of a 3D measurement activity using the same tools and interfaces, regardless of the type of 3D measurement technology involved. With version 2025 of PolyWorks|Inspector, InnovMetric keeps extending its universal digitizing hub and improving inspection workflow efficiency. Users can now:
– Inspect large parts automatically by combining single-point measurement and surface-scanning tools using new hybrid LADAR and Laser Radar plug-ins
– Enrich their CMM-based laser scanning toolbox with new scanner models compatible with Renishaw controllers along with a laser plane preview feature when defining or selecting a scanner orientation
– Enjoy auto-alignment as they start scanning to leverage feature scanning guidance tools and increase the repeatability of multipiece measurement workflows
– Determine corrective actions quickly using the derived dimensions of GD&T calculations, without having to create additional features or align the data

Data Management Enhancements
The PolyWorks|DataLoop data management solution is a key component of the PolyWorks digital thread that stores 3D measurement data on central servers and digitally interconnects the producers and consumers of 3D measurement information. Version 2025 offers enhanced tools for managing the 3D measurement data lifecycle. Users can now:
– Manage and deploy their best practices for metadata and measurement methodologies by creating and sharing reusable inspection project templates that embed all the right properties and parameters to adapt to different part types, measurement hardware technologies, and fabrication processes
– Lock a piece under their identity to modify a piece measurement template safely or to protect an important piece from being edited by others
– Access a recycle bin to recover deleted workspaces, projects, and pieces within 90 days of deletion
– Protect data confidentiality or measurement expertise by creating and sharing view-only inspection projects that can be reviewed within the Web interface, but cannot be opened in PolyWorks|Inspector
InnovMetric now also allows remote PolyWorks users to access a PolyWorks|DataLoop Core server protected by an authentication-enabled reverse proxy.
