Powerful PC-DMIS measurement and inspection software is the solution for any metrology requirement. PC-DMIS is a CAD-based interactive graphics package that simplifies and streamlines measuring and programming for both the ordinary and the most exotic applications and makes it possible to measure everything from simple prismatic parts to complex, contoured surfaces, with speed, efficiency, and accuracy. It provides fast and precise data analysis, a fully configurable, intuitive graphic user interface, interactive report formatting and data handling, and powerful reverse engineering and graphic output capabilities for both point-to-point and scanning CMMs.
Its open architecture allows the software to be used on any manufacturer’s CMM, offering valuable benefits in multi-site and enterprise-wide applications where a variety of different measuring devices are being used.

NEW POWERFUL FEATURES INCREASE FUNCTIONALITY

PC-DMIS has been recently enhanced with several new features that increase its functionality and ease of use. Its latest version – PC-DMIS 3.5 – adds a fully configurable, more intuitive graphic user interface (GUI), fully automated probe qualification procedures for all tools in a rack, a rotary scan feature for checking dimensions on mating part features, and a DIRECT CAD INTERFACE ™ (DCI) to a number of CAD programs. Other improvements in PC-DMIS 3.5 include the capability to move all five axes of the CMM simultaneously, added support for continuous scanning simulation when using an SP600 probe, filters to select specific dimensions that an operator is looking for, and improved contour mapping capability.

CUSTOM INTERFACES MAKE PC-DMIS EASY TO USE

Users can tailor the look and feel of the PC-DMIS interface to suit particular measurement and inspection tasks, and to simplify operation. PC-DMIS 3.5 iconized tool bars can be modified or deleted to streamline and simplify commands, “one click” start routines speed up probe qualifications, part alignments, and reporting functions. The software’s unique Hyper Reporting feature allows enhanced flexibility in report formatting and in data handling. Text, charts, documents, logos and bit mapped images can be easily included in reports using exclusive drag-and-drop editing tools.



USING CAD DATA TO DRIVE THE CMM

Developing inspection part programs from the CAD drawing can save a tremendous amount of time. PC-DMIS 3.5 unique DCI capability - available for such programs as CATIA, Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer, SDRC, and the common CAD format, ACIS - allows users to create part programs directly on the native CAD model, eliminating any translation from the original CAD design intent, and also reducing programming time and improving accuracy. Direct access to GD&T information included in the CAD model eliminates the need to manually enter and edit data.
In addition, PC-DMIS offers Direct Translators for CATIA, Pro Engineer, Unigraphics, and SDRC files, into the PC-DMIS native CAD format, that allow for the use of a native CAD model when the user does not own that specific CAD system.


PC-DMIS is continuously evolving. Each new release will bring new advanced capabilities, and offer unique refinements in the way dimensional data are collected and analyzed, and in the way users can interface with the software.
