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.
