InnovMetric Introduces New Xtreme User Interface And 64-Bit Version In Groundbreaking Release 10 of PolyWorks®

10/26/06

InnovMetric Software Inc., a Canadian corporation with subsidiaries in the USA and China, is proud to announce the groundbreaking new version 10 of PolyWorks®, its universal 3D metrology software platform for manufacturing. InnovMetric has completely rebuilt the user interface of PolyWorks based on the new Xtreme interface platform. This new user interface not only allows the customization of menus and toolbars, but also allows users to redefine the interface layout, including total control over window pane location, visibility, and docking constraints. Customized interface layouts can be saved to visual layout files and be switched in real time. Within minutes, PolyWorks customers can create very simplified interface layouts to optimize their workflow, or configure PolyWorks into direct shop floor applications for increased user productivity.

For the first time, InnovMetric is releasing PolyWorks on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. The 64-bit version of PolyWorks will support an unlimited amount of data points. Based on the availability of 64-bit technology from its partners, some of the third-party plug-ins will be released within the following months.

With Version 10, InnovMetric also introduces a new flavor of its powerful inspection solution for probing applications. The new ‘PolyWorks/Inspector Probing™’ package offers all PolyWorks capabilities for probing devices. By the same occasion, InnovMetric has revisited several major workflows of PolyWorks/Inspector to better support feature probing and inspection applications for its automotive and aeronautic users.

PolyWorks V10 offers several major new tools, such as:

A new version of its renowned polygonal meshing tool now capable of running over a network of computers.
A completely redesigned GD&T engine based on patented Smart GD&T™ technology licensed from Multi Metrics.
A new Airfoil gauge whose robust measurement algorithms process equally well datasets from various white-light and laser-based 3D digitizing devices.
Completely redesigned polygon editing tools for filling holes, inserting curves in meshes, preparing equilateral meshes for simulation, and automatically extracting perfect feature curves.
An enhanced NURBS surface fitting tool that gets completely rid of ripples in polygonal surfaces for top-of-the-class rapid surfaces.
As usual, all PolyWorks licenses include the first year of support/maintenance and the best after-sales support of the industry.
