![]() ![]() “PolyWorks is one of the most important and widely used metrology software packages on the market,” explains Rieke-Zapp. ![]() As well as avoiding the need to transfer structured light scanning data between programs, the plugin means that a single program can now be used to perform measurement and inspection tasks with devices as varied as structured light scanners, trackers, portable measuring arms and CMMs. When added to the existing versatility of the PolyWorks platform, the SLS-PW Plugin delivers a flexible solution for companies that run a range of metrology hardware and wish to simplify their workflows. “ With the development of this new SDK for our range of structured light scanners, we’re making it possible for users to deeply integrate this type of high-detail scanning within their existing metrology workflows by completely removing the need to insert proprietary software at the measurement step of the inspection process.” ![]() “The need to use proprietary standalone software solutions to operate structured light scanning systems is an issue faced by users across the industry, whether they are using scanners from Hexagon or other manufacturers,” says Dirk Rieke-Zapp, Commercial Product Manager Structured Light Scanners at Hexagon. The increased efficiency of a single platform workflow will reduce inspection times by eliminating the need to export and import measurement data between separate programs, as well as by minimising training needs. The SLS-PW Plugin and any subsequently developed plugins will let users streamline their scanning and inspection workflow into a single software environment, with clear productivity benefits. This represents the first implementation of a new SDK released by Hexagon that allows a third-party software environment to take full hardware control of any of the company’s range of structured light scanners. Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced the launch of a new software plugin that will allow full operation of Hexagon structured light scanning systems from within the powerful third-party inspection software platform PolyWorks, developed by InnovMetric Software Inc. ![]()
