InnovMetric Software Announces New PolyWorks|Inspector Probing Software
InnovMetric Software is very pleased to announce its new PolyWorks|Inspector Probing software package for users of traditional hard probing metrology. While the full PolyWorks|Inspector package can process an unlimited number of both scanned and probed data points, the new PolyWorks/Inspector Probing™ (a subset of the full PolyWorks|Inspector™ package) is designed to handle up to 100,000 data points obtained from probing devices. This full-fledged “probing-only” package includes 3D graphics, CAD import for the IGES, STEP and STL formats, as well as free plug-ins to operate a wide range of arm-based and hand-held probing devices, photogrammetry-based devices, and laser trackers. Users of the new PolyWorks|Inspector Probing package can easily upgrade it to the full PolyWorks|Inspector package as soon as they acquire a 3D digitizer and are ready to process high-density point cloud data.
‘InnovMetric has established an innovative pricing strategy for its new PolyWorks|Inspector Probing package to address the market of hard-probing metrology,’ said Marc Boulanger, Director of Worldwide Sales at InnovMetric Software. This new PolyWorks package will be licensed yearly (‘one year’ license model) at a fixed price of 3200 euros/year/license (Europe) and US$4000/year/license (Americas and ROW). The yearly license fee includes full first-line support to end-users as well as all software updates/upgrades and new versions. At the end of the ‘one year’ license period, customers simply need to renew their annual license. ‘This pricing structure will enable users to more easily and rapidly obtain budget approvals from their decision makers,’ he concluded.
Initial ‘one year’ license free of charge on new systems
Users that have acquired a new portable probing system will qualify for the initial “one year” license activation free of charge**. This introductory promotion is valid for activations taking place within 90 days from the date of the purchase of the portable probing system.
The “PolyWorks|Inspector Probing” package will be released in January 2007, at the same time as the new PolyWorks Version 10.
** A nominal fee of 100 euros/license (Europe) or US$100/license (Americas and ROW) will be charged to cover shipping costs and dongle registration.
