Project Support

PolyWorks offers extensive functions for the automation of the most various tasks. Thanks to the macro-programming and plug-in interfaces, PolyWorks can be integrated into almost any kind of measuring and work processes.

In many cases, repetitive measuring tasks are a part of production or quality control processes. Theoretical data are made available in a specific format or by means of a data base. The evaluation shall then be executed according to a pre-determined set of criteria and the results similarly delivered in a pre-defined form.

Optical metrology can be applied to these processes. The implementation of optical measuring technology can bring a significant improvement of your productivity. PolyWorks used in combination with optical measuring processes makes it much easier to analyze and solve the problems in production procedures which are caused by dimensional deviations or parts and components. The necessary functions are largely available in PolyWorks.

Duwe-3d AG will assist you in the processing and analysis of your 3d data. Extensive projects can be automated with macro-programming and integrated in your work processes.
 

Data processing and analysis

Prior to purchasing an optical system, several questions concerning data acquisition, precision, processing and analysis must often be solved.

Duwe-3d helps you in the introduction of new technologies, analyzing representative data sets and showing you which measuring processes are the most appropriate for your needs.

We will make relevant sets of criteria available to you, on the basis of which you will be able to evaluate measuring technologies and make objective investment decisions.
 

We offer you the following services for the processing and analysis of your 3d-data

• Point engineering and polygonal meshing of data
• Processing and optimization of polygonal meshing
• Reverse engineering
• Data analysis and comparison to CAD model

For serial measurements and routine jobs, do not hesitate to contact our service bureau partners, who already successfully use PolyWorks.
 

Automation and macro-programming

For repetitive tasks, all PolyWorks functions can be recorded and automatically started. This way, it is possible to import data files and evaluate them, as well as to export and save the results. Program loops, user-specific parameters or if-then queries complete the macro-programming language itself.

PolyWorks macro-programming example

A data set is aligned to a CAD file per best-fit. A color deviation map will then be calculated and a screen-shot made for the measurement report.

ALIGN BEST_FIT
COMPARE DATA_TO_REFERENCE ALL_DATA_POINTS ( )
REPORT_ITEM SNAPSHOT CAPTURE
...

We offer individual advanced trainings in order to learn and implement the macro-programming language.

For extensive projects, we are at your disposal with our service capacity. We can also realize the macro-programming for you as well as the integration in your working processes.

For system integrators, PolyWorks has a COM interface, which allows sensors with a plug-in functionality to be integrated directly in PolyWorks. The surface points can be displayed and compared to the reference CAD file in real time. This interface also allows PolyWorks to be externally started and controlled. This API is available in the PolyWorks license and can be used without extra costs.
