InnovMetric Software Inc. (Quebec City) and Hexagon Metrology Qingdao, Inc. (Qingdao, China) have recently signed an agreement for the distribution of the PolyWorks universal 3D metrology software platform from InnovMetric. Under this agreement, Hexagon Metrology Qingdao will distribute PolyWorks® software with its core brands (ROMER, Leica Geosystems, DEA and Brown & Sharpe) sold in Mainland China. PolyWorks will be sold with the ROMER laser probe equipped portable measuring arms, plus Leica Laser Trackers and Leica T-Scan 3D digitizing systems. Brown & Sharpe brand laser probe equipped Global bridge-type CMMs and DEA brand horizontal arm and gantry CMMs will also have a PolyWorks option available.
The hardware and software combination allows manufacturers to quickly digitize parts and use the resulting point cloud data to inspect, reverse-engineer and perform other computer-aided engineering tasks such as rapid prototyping and computational fluid dynamics. Manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, and general engineering and manufacturing industries can benefit from this solution.
“This agreement represents a major business opportunity to partner with the strongest metrology solution provider in the manufacturing industries in China,” said Marc Soucy, President of InnovMetric Software Inc. “Hexagon Metrology Qingdao has a very strong presence in China with six regional centers located in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Xi'an, and Qingdao.
