D3D | Digital Clamping Plug-In for PolyWorks^®

Digital clamping is a technology that allows parts to be clamped in a virtual environment using simulation software. It eliminates the need for part-specific physical clamping fixtures. This makes Quality Assurance much more efficient. Only one flexible work holder is required for measuring all your parts. The D3D | Digital Clamping Plug-In for PolyWorks™ is the ideal companion for the “digital clamping” process, as it works seamlessly with a variety of industry leading FEM software providers (simulation software) and various manufacturers of universal work holders. Thanks to this integration all relevant components can be controlled from a single trusted platform, PolyWorks.

Digital clamping as a combination and integration of innovative software environments

A consistent digital thread makes it possible to clamp parts “digitally.” By integrating our D3D - Digital Clamping Plug-In into PolyWorks|Inspector™, we have combined various technologies — workpiece holders, simulation, automation, and measurement software — to create a comprehensive solution that significantly simplifies the clamping process and saves both time and money.

With our dedicated Ribbon, you can control the entire process in PolyWorks^®!

The D3D | Digital Clamping Plug-In for PolyWorks^® goes one step further than comparable solutions: It combines all necessary technologies for a virtual clamping process in a user-friendly interface. You can conveniently control all processes within PolyWorks. This centralized control optimizes workflows, increases efficiency, and ensures more accurate results—an unparalleled solution for modern manufacturing.
