InnovMetric, Faro Creaform Integration Enables Direct Data Acquisition
InnovMetric, in collaboration with Faro Creaform, provides data acquisition from metrology-grade 3D scanners directly in PolyWorks|Inspector, preserving workflows and unlocking advanced inspection capabilities.
InnovMetric, in collaboration with Faro Creaform, offers fully integrated data acquisition from Faro Creaform’s auto-referencing multi-line 3D scanners in PolyWorks|Inspector. This collaboration provides real-time data visualization and a complete dimensional analysis and quality control toolbox during acquisition.
This integration delivers key benefits:
- Reduced learning curve: Operators no longer need to switch between software platforms or adapt to new interfaces, cutting training time and accelerating onboarding
- Faster time to production: By leveraging operator expertise, established processes and metrology-grade handheld 3D scanners, manufacturers can reach operational efficiency faster
- Full compatibility: Faro Creaform provides auto-referencing multi-line 3D scanner data acquisition that is fully compatible with PolyWorks|Inspector functionalities including automatic scan-to-CAD alignment, surface and feature scanning guidance, mixed-reality measurement workflows and automation macro scripts
“Global OEMs often rely on PolyWorks 3D measurement templates to enforce compliance across multiple plants. This integration allows Faro Creaform 3D scanners to plug into those templates without requiring custom scripts or additional configuration. It simplifies large-scale deployment, ensuring consistent inspection logic and reporting across diverse production environments,” says Marco St-Pierre, dvp innovation, 3D scanners at Faro Creaform. “As a worldwide reseller of PolyWorks solutions, we are proud to deliver a unified solution that streamlines quality control across worldwide operations.”
“This integration demonstrates our dedication to customer satisfaction and our ability to respond to industry needs. The joint workflow supports hybrid inspection strategies, where portable scanners complement CMMs in a single environment. By enabling direct data acquisition from Faro Creaform 3D scanners, we extend the acquisition stage of the PolyWorks digital thread, ensuring that measurement data flows seamlessly from capture to analysis without breaking connectivity,” adds Éric Roberge, vice president of products and innovation for the metrology suite at InnovMetric.
