PolyWorks|PMI+Loop™

The Model-Based Definition solution that integrates your CAD platform within your 3D measurement processes

PolyWorks|PMI+Loop™ is an innovative Model-Based Definition (MBD) solution that allows you to define complete 3D measurement plans associative with CAD geometry within your native CAD platform. It provides the digital traceability needed to automate the consumption of its measurement plans plus digital connectivity to open up access to 3D measurement results to all CAD users.

CAD-Based 3D Measurement Plans that Integrate All Your Dimensional Requirements


By enriching your CAD software with 3D measurement software tools that define manufacturing requirements, PolyWorks|PMI+Loop allows your product engineering teams to bring all their dimensional requirements within a single 3D measurement plan within your CAD platform.

Leverage design requirements for quality control

Automatically include native PMI in your 3D measurement plans, such as GD&T, datum labels, and standard and custom dimensions.

Configure bills of characteristics quickly

Review, order, and augment your bills of characteristics with process and inspection requirements to comply with your measurement system capabilities and reporting strategy.

Add dimensional requirements from manufacturing

Set up specialized characteristics to obtain feature location, surface and edge deviations, and tie them to assembly, tooling, or datum coordinate systems.

Define PMI on construction-based geometry

Create construction geometry from existing CAD geometry and control the constructed geometry in your 3D measurement plan.
