Wilcox Associates, Inc. is the developer of PC-DMIS, the world's leading metrology software. Metrology is the science of measurement. PC-DMIS sets the measurement standard through its direct and seamless integration with the CAD and tolerance data for streamlining the measurement process.PC-DMIS provides comprehensive measurement routines for all part types, whether contoured, thin-walled or prismatic, providing unparalleled versatility for all applications, from the simple to the most complex. PC-DMIS also interfaces with many types of measurement devices, from CMMs (Coordinate Measurement Machines) to laser tracker, photogrammetry, vision measurement systems and probing devices working on NC machine tools. The PC-DMIS Planner product provides the ability to develop a measurement plan directly from the feature and tolerance data within the SOLIDWORKS model.Wilcox Associates, Inc. has developed both PC-DMIS and the PC-DMIS Planner as partner products for use with SOLIDWORKS. The Direct CAD interface for SOLIDWORKS allows for direct interaction with a SOLIDWORKS CAD model without the need for translation. The SOLIDWORKSmodel is visualized inside PC-DMIS and PC-DMIS Planner where measurement features and tolerances can be defined by mouse selections. The math routines of SOLIDWORKS define the nominal information, guaranteeing an exact correlation with the native CAD environment.With these Partner Products for SOLIDWORKS, the best-in-class capabilities enjoyed by PC-DMIS and PC-DMIS Planner users are extended further into the design process, bridging the gap between design and reality in all aspects of the manufacturing process.
