PLM Connectors

The PolyWorks|DataLoop™ PLM connectors digitally interconnect your Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system with the PolyWorks® digital thread, enabling your product engineering, manufacturing, and quality control teams to easily access and share product definitions and 3D measurement data, while boosting the performance of your product development process.

Universal digital access to CAD and 3D measurement data

Our PLM connectors minimize the risk of mistakes and eliminate time loss resulting from manual data exchanges by ensuring a perfect digital interoperability between your PLM and the PolyWorks® digital thread.

Import CAD data stored in your PLM system directly into PolyWorks®

Search for CAD models and assemblies stored in your PLM system using PolyWorks|Inspector™ and directly import any revision.

Access 3D measurement data and results from your PLM system

Inject dynamic links into your PLM system to provide instant access to 3D measurement data and results by leveraging PolyWorks|DataLoop’s parametric URL technology.

Digital PLM processes boosted by 3D measurement data

Accelerate new product development and improve product quality proactively by integrating valuable 3D measurement data into your digital PLM enterprise processes

Engineering change

Access 3D measurement data easily from the PLM to troubleshoot design and manufacturing issues and check on the success or failure of a fix.

Revision traceability

Document the cause of engineering changes through hyperlinks that point to relevant 3D measurement data and discussion threads.

Approval process optimization

Improve the efficiency of existing PLM-based approval processes by linking CAD revisions to their corresponding 3D measurement data.

Continuous improvement

Analyze your enterprise’s current manufacturing process capability to improve the next product designs.
