NDI sélectionne PolyWorks® pour les ventes mondiales de leurs systèmes ScanTRAK OPTOTRAK® PROseries

Voici le communiqué officiel, disponible en anglais seulement :

InnovMetric Software Inc. and Northern Digital Inc. (NDI) are proud to announce that they have recently entered into an agreement for the distribution of PolyWorks, InnovMetric’s Universal 3D Metrology Software Platform for Manufacturing. Under the terms of the agreement, NDI has global distribution rights to bundle the PolyWorks® software suite with its OPTOTRAK® PROseries ScanTRAK systems. 

The OPTOTRAK PROseries ScanTRAK system is a high-performance, armless and beamless hand-held laser scanner that provides the flexibility required for digitizing large parts in a fraction of the time. To guarantee higher shop-floor accuracy, NDI’s line of products also offers “dynamic referencing” technology, a unique feature that automatically compensates for movement between the part and tracker, enabling free movement of parts during data acquisition. 

The ScanTRAK system and PolyWorks software are smoothly integrated through a plug-in, which enables data acquisition and data analysis directly from the software interface, providing live results and instant feedback on the quality of the part. The NDI plug-in also enables the integration of high-density point clouds with hard-probed points obtained with the OPTOTRAK PROseries Portable CMM within the same software platform. This unique feature represents a great opportunity for actual OPTOTRAK Portable CMM users to upgrade to a “hybrid metrology” approach by adding the ScanTRAK laser scanner to their actual “probe-based” inspection processes. 

“We are very happy to be providing PolyWorks 3D software with our OPTOTRAK PROseries ScanTRAK solution,” said Mr. Paul Clausen, Vice-President of Strategic Business Development at NDI. “PolyWorks is the industry’s premier software platform for point cloud data acquisition, a definite “must-have” for any scanning solution, and this powerful tool for reverse engineering and inspection will allow our customers to tap the full potential of the ScanTRAK system.” 

“By combining PolyWorks with NDI’s ScanTRAK systems as their preferred point cloud engineering solution, NDI offers a very promising and “market-ready” 3D digitizing solution to the industrial world,” said Marc Boulanger, Director of worldwide sales at InnovMetric Software Inc. “The ScanTRAK PROseries system is a strong complement to our line of supported 3D digitizers, and it reasserts PolyWorks as being the Universal 3D Metrology Software Platform in the automotive and aeronautic industries worldwide for point cloud engineering tasks. We are very proud to partner up with the NDI Team.”
