May 20 2005 - After months of intense software development based on the
needs of the manufacturing community, InnovMetric Software is proud to
announce that it has just released the version 9 of its leading point cloud
processing software PolyWorks..

One of the major themes of this new development cycle has been to increase
the productivity of our customers by redesigning and simplifying interfaces,
reducing mouse clicks, improving data file management, and adding more
Wizards for new users.

Significant productivity improvements result from the introduction of a new
front-end program called the Workspace Manager (WM). This Windows XP-style
interface provides a friendly access to all PolyWorks modules and offer a
supervised Wizard mode for occasional and new users. The WM also
tremendously improves data file management by storing in one project folder
the digitized point clouds and the user.s modeling and inspection results.
The WM also simplifies the transition between modules by providing
intelligent transition wizards, drag & drop mechanisms, and automatic
parameter computation.

PolyWorks/Inspector. Version 9 remains at the forefront of the point cloud
inspection world with new features such as:

Integration of non-contact and contact-based digitizing hardware within a
unique software measurement platform, including real-time scanning,
real-time inspection, full hard probing capabilities, and free plug-ins for
major brands of laser scanners, articulated arms, and laser trackers
IMView, a free module for visualizing measurements in 3D, navigating easily
through inspection results, and performing basic measurements EZLayout, to
quickly create personalized inspection reports More advanced automation
capabilities Hundreds of functional improvements to alignment, GD&T, and
gaging techniques

PolyWorks/Modeler. Version 9 offers major improvements to its rapid
surfacing toolbox, including fully automatic surfacing and
feature-constrained automatic surfacing. Major improvements include:

An automatic curve layout tool that tracks the natural curvature lines
within minutes Support for triangular patches and T-junctions for
simplifying patch layout definition A rigidity factor for NURBS surface
fitting for mimicking a flexible or rigid material Support of symmetry
planes Powerful feature-tracking technology for tracking fillet center
curves, tangent curves, or theoretical edges curves based on one mouse
click Boolean operations
