For this reason, we had to provide a digital technology to allow customers to seamlessly feed PolyWorks data to any software application they wish to use.” The data we manage is not ours, it belongs to our customers. He further added, “Providing an API for our data management solution is a key step in our digital ecosystem evolution.

That’s why today, PolyWorks goes beyond data creation by managing data storage, opening access to data enterprisewide, and enabling digital data flows between hardware, software, and people,” said Marc Soucy, President of InnovMetric.

However, as the amount of 3D measurement data grew exponentially, new data management complexities also emerged, which lead us to reconsider our company’s mission. This strategy proved to be highly successful for market players and fueled a major growth in the use of 3D measurement technologies in manufacturing organizations. “For decades, the main mission of manufacturers of 3D hardware and software, including ourselves, was to deliver state-of-the-art technologies to create data from 3D measurements.

PolyWorks 2022 also demonstrates InnovMetric’s commitment to open solutions by releasing an API to query data from its data management solution and inject it into third-party software applications. The universal 3D metrology platform now facilitates multipiece inspection when CAD data is not available as well as introduces a universal data hub. Digital connectivity between data and people is improved by enabling the deployment of global metadata management strategies and the programming of alerts that automatically detect failing dimensions and notify the right people in real-time, and the collaboration between probing operators and their measurement hardware is raised to a new level by mixed reality display technology that enhances the operators’ perception of 3D metrology. PolyWorks 2022 offers new key functionalities that significantly expand the capabilities of its three ecosystem foundations. In a press release shared with Machine Maker, InnovMetric, the independent software development company that empowers manufacturers of every size to digitally transform their 3D measurement processes, today launched PolyWorks 2022, the latest release of its smart 3D metrology digital ecosystem.
