PolyWorks Software — Inspector, Modeler & the Loop Suite
PolyWorks (from InnovMetric) is a universal 3D metrology platform — one software environment that works with virtually any scanner, CMM or portable arm. Inspector drives dimensional inspection, GD&T and alignment; Modeler reverse-engineers scans into CAD; the free Reviewer shares results with anyone; and the Loop suite (DataLoop, ReportLoop, PMI+Loop) plus AR and Talisman add data management, reporting and guided workflows. This page compares the core applications and lists the full suite.

Choosing a PolyWorks software machine
The decisions that actually matter for this class of machine — size them to your parts, not to a spec sheet.
Inspect or reverse engineer?
For dimensional inspection, GD&T and alignment, choose PolyWorks|Inspector — it drives almost any scanner, arm or CMM. For turning scans into CAD surfaces, choose PolyWorks|Modeler.
Share results for free
PolyWorks|Reviewer is a free viewer — send inspection results to anyone on the shop floor or in the supply chain so they can review measurements and reports without a paid seat.
The Loop data suite
DataLoop centralizes and manages metrology data; ReportLoop builds reports; PMI+Loop pulls model-based PMI into inspection. Together they connect measurement to the rest of your quality system.
Guided & AR workflows
PolyWorks|AR guides operators with augmented-reality overlays, and Talisman streamlines device operation — both reduce training time and operator error on the floor. Ask us which fits your team.
