(InnovMetric: Quebec, QC, Canada) -- InnovMetric Software Inc. is proud to announce that its annual 2015 release of the PolyWorks universal 3D metrology software platform is focused on enhancing measurement quality, repeatability, and productivity. Key new functionalities of PolyWorks 2015 include an innovative feature-scanning guidance tool and an integrated workflow to perform feature-based inspection in 2D.

Feature scanning guidance

The groundbreaking innovation of PolyWorks 2014’s real-time quality meshing technology was to compute and display quality metrics that guide laser scanner operators toward delivering high-quality scanned surfaces. PolyWorks 2015 expands these scanning guidance capabilities by computing and displaying quality metrics for features that need to be extracted on scanned data. The objective of the new feature-scanning guidance tool is to answer the two following questions:

• Is there enough data to reliably fit this feature?
• If there is not enough data, where should the operator capture additional data?
