(Metrologic DCS: Wixom, MI) -- Metrologic DCS, a Sandvik Intelligent Manufacturing company and global leader in quality intelligence software, announces the release of Metrolog V25 and the latest version of 3DCS, its industry-leading tolerance analysis platform. The updates mark a significant step in the company’s strategy to make quality engineering faster, smarter, and more accessible for manufacturers worldwide, regardless of machine brand, part complexity, or team experience level. 

AI where it matters most—inside the workflow 

The most significant addition to both platforms is the integration of AI-powered co-pilots designed to reduce friction for operators and engineers. In Metrolog V25, the new CoPilot assistant provides instant, contextual answers from directly within the application—no need to pause work, open a browser, or call support. In 3DCS, the new AI Knowledge Assistant delivers natural language responses drawn from the full product documentation library, enabling faster onboarding and reducing the learning curve for new users.

“We didn’t want AI to be a separate tool,” says Steve Bannash, 3DCS product director. “We built it into the moment the engineer needs it.” 

From hours to minutes—programming gets dramatically easier 

Metrolog V25 introduces: 

Part programming without CAD, allowing operators to write measurement routines directly at the CMM using auto-type detection and automatic clearance management without requiring a CAD model on hand.  

Digital Twin for I++ provides a unified simulation environment that adapts to each CMM manufacturer’s specificities, giving teams higher confidence before live machine execution and significantly reducing the risk of costly collisions or errors. 

Smarter decisions, earlier in the process 

On the 3DCS side: 

DVM Scalable Monte Carlo and Assembly Modeling module brings production-grade variation analysis to engineering teams that previously needed specialist expertise to run it. 

Drive to Nominal feature goes one step further: Engineers input measured production data, and the software calculates exactly which fixture locators need to be adjusted—and by how much—replacing days of manual trial-and-error with a data-driven recommendation. 

Built for the shop floor, not just the office 

Metrolog platforms ship with a fully redesigned interface featuring light and dark themes, optimized contrast ratios for high-glare environments, and a harmonized icon system—directly addressing the reality that quality teams work in demanding environments where readability and visual fatigue pose challenges. 

“These releases are about one thing: giving quality teams back their time,” says Karolina Malyska, VP of product and innovation at Metrologic DCS. “Every feature we shipped answers a question asked by customers: How do I go faster, make fewer errors, and spend less time in front of a screen and more time making confident decisions?” 

Metrologic DCS will showcase the full Quality Intelligence Suite at the International Manufacturing Technology Show 2026 in Chicago’s McCormick Place, Sept. 14–19, 2026, at Booth 134728. Live demonstrations will be available throughout the show.
