PolyWorks® is an enterprise solution that empowers manufacturing teams to efficiently acquire, process, and share 3D measurement data for quality control.
It provides a digital thread framework that ensures dimensional inspection data flows seamlessly across departments, enabling better decision-making, enhanced traceability, and optimized processes.
PolyWorks 2026 delivers three key pillars of innovation:
- A data management solution in a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) model
- Improved software compatibility to support a broader range of measurement devices
- An AI assistant designed to provide technical support 24/7
PolyWorks 2026 empowers metrology engineers and quality control managers to implement standardized dimensional inspection processes, facilitating multi-site collaboration among metrology teams, as well as with external suppliers.
A digital thread infrastructure
PolyWorks 2026 introduces two major enhancements that leverage a digital thread framework to create the ultimate inspection lab:
- DataLoop Cloud™, a SaaS solution designed to ensure secure data centralization for manufacturers seeking to outsource their data management server setup and maintenance, thereby simplifying deployment and reducing ongoing upkeep.
- Seamless sharing of PolyWorks|Inspector™ licenses as well as piece measurement templates with tailored interfaces, streamlining multi-site inspection by driving standardization and boosting efficiency.
Metrology platform extensions
The universal metrology platform delivers four key extensions, enabling metrologists to work smoothly and with greater flexibility:
- A Computed Tomography (CT) scanning module that automates CT-based multipiece inspection in production environments.
- A web-based data app that allows collecting and consolidating data from handheld gauges and visual checks, directly on the shop floor.
- Real-time integration of portable multi-line scanners within PolyWorks|Inspector, enabling direct processing of scan data and eliminating manual transfers as well as the need to switch between software platforms.
- Advanced 5-axis probe head support that includes native go-to-positioning, head-touch measurement, and built-in collision analysis functionalities.
