PolyWorks | PMI + Loop™
The model-based definition solution. Enable collaborative measurement planning between your product engineering and manufacturing teams.
About PolyWorks | PMI + Loop™
PolyWorks|PMI+Loop™ is an innovative model-based definition (MBD) solution. It defines 3D measurement objects and their dimensions, along with setting up the inspection report and feature controls within your existing CAD package.
PolyWorks|PMI+Loop™ works seamlessly with PolyWorks|Inspector™, providing a digital collaboration platform that updates the MBD of inspection projects and obtains stage models when changes are made to the design geometry.
Complete CAD-based MBD solution for 3D metrology
-
3D measurement object and dimension definition
Define 3D measurement objects and construction geometry, together with their characteristics and controlled dimensions, in conjunction with the CAD design geometry and its native GD&T.
-
Manufacturing feedback ready
Format specialised characteristics to acquire feature location, surface & edge deviations and tie them to assembly, tooling or datum coordinate systems.
-
Report-ready bill of characteristics
Prepare the report layout with tables and 3D views/captures and set characteristic labels to match CAD drawing to the inspection report.
-
Interoperable with PolyWorks®
Import CAD-based MBD and the CAD model into your PolyWorks® inspection projects and start measuring.
Digital Collaboration
-
Automatic inspection project updates
Adjust the CAD design and PMI+Loop will automatically update the corresponding MBD and report layout, then send the updated designs to PolyWorks|Inspector™ to integrate the latest modifications.
-
Ideal for parametric and stage modelling
Any changes to the master model geometry are recorded and the MBD and report layouts are updated accordingly by PMI+Loop. See these alterations automatically modify the manufacturing stage models.
-
PolyWorks® MBD import within CAD platform
Send MBD changes created by your measurement team in PolyWorks | Inspector™ directly to your CAD package. PMI+Loop automatically applies these to the design geometry.
