About

CMM-Manager was designed to deliver powerful measurement capability while maintaining a straightforward, user-friendly experience across virtually any CMM. Rather than limiting users to a specific platform, the software works with both new and existing CMM hardware. As a result, manufacturers can run inspections on vision systems, manual CMMs, portable devices, and multi-sensor CNC coordinate measuring machines using a single software environment. Instead of investing in costly hardware upgrades, companies can simply integrate CMM-Manager directly with their current CMMs or metrology equipment. In other words, the software connects to existing machines without requiring additional hardware or specialized middleware. CMM-Manager can breathe new life into older CMMs while also improving the user experience on modern machines by replacing complicated OEM software with a more intuitive interface. Because of this flexibility, shops can standardize their inspection workflow.

About

PolyWorks|Modeler™ is a comprehensive reverse-engineering software solution that allows extracting optimal CAD entities, curves, surfaces, parametric sketches, and prismatic features, from polygonal models of digitized parts to serve as the starting point in your professional CAD modeling solution. The first step in a reverse-engineering workflow consists in transforming digitized point clouds into surface-based polygonal models, also called meshes. Polygonal models are more compact, more accurate, and less noisy than raw point clouds and are directly handled by industrial applications such as milling, 3D printing, and aerodynamic simulation. Adopt effective scanning methods that ensure quality and precision with real-time quality meshing technology. Fill holes, smooth and rebuild surfaces, clean boundaries, recover sharp edges, make surfaces watertight, and more. Extrude boundaries, offset surfaces, reconstruct fillets, perform Boolean operations with CAD models, and more.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ease of use of this software is awesome. I previously programmed with Calypso and PC-DMIS. I was able to learn this software on my own without any formal training and it seems like they took all the good things from every other software and put them all in CMM Manager.
  • 1. User-friendly interface compared to many traditional CMM software packages. 2. Strong flexibility for both manual and CNC measurement routines. 3. Great compatibility with a wide range of CMM hardware and controllers. 4. CAD import and alignment workflows are straightforward and efficient. 5. Scripting and automation capabilities help reduce repetitive programming tasks. 6. Responsive technical support and active development updates. 7. Cost-effective solution compared to some larger enterprise metrology platforms.
  • CMM-Manager provides the most intuitive 5-axis CMM programing we have worked with. The environment is based around an ease-of-use interface, and it allows more users to feel comfortable programming and operating the software.
  • Support ease of use the help screens are excellent and give examples cost of ownership for updates is very low
  • 1.) Its interface is intuitive and easy to understand right away. 2.) The software as a whole really feels like it was made to get work done quickly and not hold me captive all day in front of the CMM 3.) CMM-M makes it easy to do complex things. 4.) The support is very responsive.

Cons

  • As our company focuses heavily on Zeiss CMMs, the lack of support for Zeiss VAST heads would be my only complaint. However working with the CMM Manager support team, this is something that they are addressing and will hopefully be available soon!
  • 1. Limited Report customization 2. GD&T Capabilities not as comprehensive as other software packages 3. The GUI is click-intensive. Some areas could benefit from a more streamlined approach. 4. Missing some advanced features compared to other software packages
  • Having worked with CMM-Manager for many years, anything that would be considered a con is just an opportunity for improvement and the team at QxSoft addresses these and provides software updates and improvements.
  • some of the features have similar names and it can be confusing
  • I have some small gripes, but they are trivial. Things such as default on-focus buttons and tab order in certain dialog boxes.
