Hexagon Metrology Qingdao to Sell PolyWorks in China
 QUEBEC CITY, QC,
Oct 18, 2007 - InnovMetric Software Inc. (Quebec City) and Hexagon Metrology
Qingdao, Inc. (Qingdao, China) have recently signed an agreement for the
distribution of the PolyWorks universal 3D metrology software platform from
InnovMetric. Under this agreement, Hexagon Metrology Qingdao will distribute
PolyWorks software with its core brands: ROMER, Leica Geosystems, DEA and
Brown & Sharpe sold in Mainland China. PolyWorks will be sold with the ROMER
laser probe equipped portable measuring arms, plus Leica Laser Trackers and
Leica T-Scan 3D digitizing systems. Brown & Sharpe brand laser probe
equipped Global bridge-type CMMs and DEA brand horizontal arm and gantry
CMMs will also have a PolyWorks option available.
The hardware and software combination allows manufacturers to quickly
digitize parts and use the resulting point cloud data to inspect,
reverse-engineer and perform other computer-aided engineering tasks such as
rapid prototyping and computational fluid dynamics. Manufacturers in
automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, and general engineering and
manufacturing industries can benefit from this solution.
“This agreement represents a major business opportunity to partner with
the strongest metrology solution provider in the manufacturing industries in
China,” said Marc Soucy, President of InnovMetric Software Inc. “Hexagon
