Announced by InnovMetric Software (Quebec, Canada) was the launch of a new PolyWorks plug-in that enables the integration of the PolyWorks software with the G-Scan and R-Scan laser scanners from Hexagon Metrology SAS (Montoire,France). Now available in PolyWorks 10.1.10 this plug-in can be downloaded, at no cost, by all PolyWorks users who have a valid support/maintenance contract with InnovMetric Software. With the new plug-in, the combination of non-contact measurements (using high-density point clouds) with contact-based measurements (hard probes) within the same PolyWorks session can be achieved. Users can see in real time, the digitized data captured by the G-Scan and R-Scan scanners. Further features of the plug-in include the use of hard probes to align parts to CAD, to probe features, and to compare CAD surfaces and boundaries. The PolyWorks rapid-surfacing modules also allows digitized models to be exported to CAD software such as CATIA and UGS.
