Hexagon Metrology has released PC-DMIS 2010, the latest version of its CAD-based metrology software.

PC-DMIS is developed by Wilcox Associates Inc, a Hexagon Metrology company, and is a family of software products covering a variety of metrology hardware platforms and solutions sold under the banner of Enterprise Metrology Solutions (EMS). PC-DMIS 2010 rolls out enhanced versions of PC-DMIS CMM, PC-DMIS Portable and PC-DMIS Vision software. The release also introduces new products, such as PC-DMIS Planner and the DataPage+ suite of products. The core product of the EMS suite is PC-DMIS CMM, which is used primarily on CMMs. It offers many new functional and productivity improvements across the board. PC-DMIS 2010 offers enhanced support for the new Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) ANSI Y14.5 2009. New 'Comment' functionality allows users to display pictures, videos or text to aid the operators in executing a measurement routine. Other new measurement capabilities include total integration with the supported non-contact 3D laser line sensors. New capabilities for non-contact sensors include enhanced visualisation of all parameters for programming laser-based 3D geometric features, as well as easy re-execution of laser based measurement routines. PC-DMIS 2010 has been enhanced to handle the large point clouds that are commonly gathered with these types of sensors.
