Create rapid, reliable, and repeatable measurement programs
Metrology Mentor, a Nexus app, uses PMI data to automate CMM programming to deliver rapid, reliable, and repeatable CMM programs. Mentor verifies customer GD&T and highlights detected errors. It consolidates metrology parts, plans, and program data in an easy-to-use modern UX. Mentor creates measurement programs from CAD data in line with ISO & ASME standards. The most appropriate measurement strategy is applied to a given measurement while generating the measurement path. To establish a digital thread for smarter metrology workflows, customers generate and manage measurement programs on a dashboard.
