At Rev1 Technology, we’re excited to share news that directly benefits our customers: SHINING 3D has strengthened its integration with PolyWorks through a powerful new FreeScan plugin. As an authorized partner for both SHINING 3D and PolyWorks, we’re uniquely positioned to help you leverage this seamless integration for maximum impact in your operations.
A Strategic Partnership That Benefits Our Customers
InnovMetric, the independent software development company behind PolyWorks, recently signed a global partnership agreement with SHINING 3D. This collaboration makes SHINING 3D a bundled reseller of PolyWorks software solutions, bringing together best-in-class 3D scanning hardware with the industry’s leading universal 3D metrology software platform.
With over 23,000 customers in 100 countries and adoption by the world’s largest industrial manufacturers as their standard 3D metrology software platform, PolyWorks has been revolutionizing dimensional inspection since 2000. Now, this powerful software is seamlessly integrated with SHINING 3D’s high-accuracy scanning technologies.
As your trusted partner for both solutions, Rev1 Technology can provide end-to-end support for this integrated workflow, from hardware selection and software licensing to training, technical support, and ongoing optimization.
Two-Way Integration Changes the Game
The latest release of PolyWorks now supports direct integration with SHINING 3D’s metrology handheld 3D scanners, compatible with FreeScan software version 2.1.1.6. This enhancement establishes a bidirectional connection, eliminating redundant steps and streamlining the entire measurement process.
Previously, SHINING 3D software supported exporting data to PolyWorks for downstream inspection and analysis. Now, with the PolyWorks IR4 release, this connection works both ways, users can launch and operate SHINING 3D’s scanning software directly from within the PolyWorks environment.
What does this mean for Your Operations?
Seamless Workflow Integration: Launch your FreeScan scanner controls right from PolyWorks|Inspector™ and PolyWorks|Modeler™. No more switching between multiple software platforms or managing complex file transfers.
Enhanced Efficiency: By combining SHINING 3D’s measurement hardware with the powerful capabilities of PolyWorks software solutions, manufacturers gain the ability to conduct 3D metrology processes with exceptional speed and accuracy. The entire workflow, from capturing 3D measurement data to performing in-depth analyses, is streamlined.
Unified Environment: Companies can now efficiently address diverse measurement requirements across their entire organization, leading to significant improvements in product quality and overall manufacturing efficiency.
Point Cloud to CAD Excellence: PolyWorks revolutionized 3D metrology with point-cloud-based dimensional inspection, and this integration brings that innovation directly into your SHINING 3D scanning workflow.
