Polyworks Inspector
Align
The inspection of a component always begins with the alignment of a datum reference system defined either on the CAD model or 2D drawing. This alignment is probably the single most important part of quality control inspection as ‘poor’ or incorrect alignments can mean incorrect inspection and thus not giving engineers the correct feedback they need to make decisions. Polyworks has class leading alignment tools to align from:
- Surfaces or cross-sections allowing completely freeform fit or constrained in a particular axis or rotation.
- GD&T datum reference based alignments
- RPS – Reference Point System alignments
- Virtual Gauge alignments – Gap and Flush, caliper and air foil.
.
Measure
The extraction of measured dimensions from either point cloud or polygonal models is at the core of the Inspector module. Define exact parameters for the accurate extraction of surface, boundary, and cross-sections measurements. Once defined these measurements can be saved into part inspection sequences to rapidly measure multiple components and produce consistent reports.
Polworks Inspector can measure:
- Surface, boundaries and cross-sections to nominal data
- GD&T dimensions and datums
- Real-time assembly guidance
- Advanced dimensions – Flush and Gap, Profile Radius, Airfoil measurement and thickness
.
Report
Polyworks reporting module has advanced technology that enables graphics and inspection tables to be defined in a particular layout and format, defined by the end-user, to create reports bespoke to each company and exactly as they require the ‘look and feel’. This template is accurately repeated and updated for multiple part inspection requiring no user intervention by the operator.
Polworks Viewer offers a unique way to share inspection projects companywide without the need for additional software licences.

Geomagic Wrap
Revolutionise Your 3D Workflows
Geomagic Wrap enables users to transform point cloud data, probe data and imported 3D formats into 3D polygon meshes for use in manufacturing, analysis, design, entertainment, archeology and analysis.
Powerful Processing
Powerful point cloud processing tools quickly and easily clean large RAW point clouds before converting them into triangulated 3D mesh models. Extensive toolsets exist to analyse and repair triangulated surfaces to create clean watertight topology end exportable in neutral formats such as STL, OBJ, VRML and IGES.
Key Features
- Support for the industry’s widest range of non-contact 3D scanning and probe devices.
- Point cloud editing and fast creation of accurate polygonal models based on the 3D scan data.
- Powerful Remesh tool for fast, accurate create clean polygon models from dirty scan data.
- Polygon editing tools for hole filling, smoothing, patching and water tight model creation.
- Immediately use the data from Geomagic Wrap for 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing.
- Extensive Exact Surfacing tools give more control over your surface quality and layout, and allows for total control over NURBS patch layout, surface quality, and continuity.
- Precise surfacing of the model into NURBS using the easy and comprehensive Exact Surfacing interface.
- File export formats include: WRP, IGES, X_T, SAT, PRC, Step, VDA, NEU, 3ds, dxf, ply, stl, wrl, obj
Auto-Surfacing
Geomagic Wrap has automated functions to create rapid Nurbs surfaces for those applications that require CAD surfaces such as IGES or STEP. This surfacing technique is particularly suited to organic 3D models such as archeology, buildings, art and sculpture.

Geomagic Control X
GD&T and First Article inspection
Quickly create first article inspection reports with CAD based dimensioning tools that extract the relevant measurements from multiple components, every time the 3d scan data is replaced. Native CAD import of 3D models with GD&T definitions contained within the model at no extra cost.
Inspect Multiple Parts & Assemblies
Improve the ability to report issues across mulitple inspections of the same component with the ability to analyise history trends over time and from multiple scanning/probing devices. Undesrtand potential assembly issues with the ability to create alignments that match fit and assemblyof components.
Powerfully Communicate The Right Data To All Stakeholders
New powerful reporting tools creating graphically-rich content enables managers to quickly understand and learn quality concerns on component parts. Custom viewpoint control empowers the user to create reports that closely follow a traditional PDF or 2D paper drawing. Export your reports in a number of configurations and formats giving full flexibility to create a comprehensive management reporting system.
Nist-PTB certified results give you the confidence in your inspection process that has accountability and traceability.
