Features and Key Improvements in PC-DMIS 2025.1
PC-DMIS support for Maestro CMM
PC-DMIS is ready for use with Maestro – Hexagon’s next generation CMM. Maestro is an all-digital CMM system – representing a new era in metrology. MAESTRO CMM is designed to simplify processes and reduces reliance on specialised skills, ensuring MAESTRO is accessible and efficient for all users.
- FAST: Highest throughput on the market, from set up and cycle-time to delivering results
- EASY: Simplifies complexity to offer the most user-friendly CMM system available
- CONNECTED: Links data, people and processes to optimise productivity
- GROWING: A future-ready platform for greater autonomy, ease of use, speed and reliability
The new Environment Builder utility in PC-DMIS 2025.1 enables operators to configure probes and sensors and visualise the measurement environment with digital twins of inspection equipment, including the CMM, racks and fixtures. Simulate probe calibrations to ensure they are collision-free and ready to perform in real-world applications. Combined, Maestro and PC-DMIS 2025.1 are a winning combination offering incredible speed, ease of use and connectivity to a growing range of technologies via Hexagon’s Nexus platform.
Metrology Mentor

ATS800 Tracker support
Use PC-DMIS with Hexagon’s latest generation of ATS800 tracker models. The Absolute Tracker ATS800 offers greater measurement accuracy at a distance and enables faster, safer scanning of fine edges, features and surfaces.The combination of PC-DMIS and ATS800 slashes large-scale manufacturing inspection processes from hours to minutes thanks to a new AI powered Features Scan utility. The ATS800 high quality overview camera works hand in hand with PC-DMIS to automatically identify features to capture and measure.
Siemens Team Centre integration
PC-DMIS 2025.1 offers deeper integration with Teamcenter, Siemens’ popular PLM software, enabling manufacturers to work more efficiently and maintain organizational standards. Support is now available for Teamcenter v13.2 with 4 tier architecture. New features include support for custom item types, default object types, probe configurations and revision information.
New: 2D Scan Plotting Tool
The new 2D scan plot tool provides a clearer, visual representation of an object’s surface, facilitating the identification of defects, irregularities, or deviations from the nominal shape. This new graphical enhances current functionality with greater interaction, enabling the user to highlight critical areas of interest, making it easier to focus on specific deviations.
Improved Auto Feature plane measurement strategy
The new strategy offers a one click method of measuring annular planes using PMI extraction. Save time by creating a plane in one click by generating hits near outer and inner edge. Auto create jumps for holes in the plane to create a smoother data path.
New Gaussian Filter tools (GD&T library dependent)
Reduce scan noise with the new ISO_16610 Gaussian Filter. The New filter works for any 2D curve – improving on the previous filter which supported circles or straight lines only. Fewer input parameters are also required and the tool is easier to use.
PC-DMIS Report Comments now in Metrology Reporting
Expanded roughness reporting with white light sensor
PC-DMIS continues to integrate more deeply with our growing range of Nexus native applications. User created comments made in PC-DMIS reports are now available in Metrology Reporting – a Nexus application that provides simple and interactive views of inspection data. The comments provide extra context and information for stakeholders so they are better able to make informed decisions.
Improved collision speed detection for HP-L-10.10
PC-DMIS can now detect potential collisions much faster when using the HP-L-10.10 before executing a measurement routine Collision detection takes place in offline mode where the measurement path can be simulated before execution. This represents a huge time saving for HP-L-10.10 scanner users.
PC-DMIS 2025.1 offers other new features and improvements, including:
Geometric Tolerance Cross-Sectioning
The GD&T library now offers enhanced cross-sectioning capabilities. It is now able to automatically extract linear or circular cross sections from the hits of features, even if they have not been measured in distinct cross sections.Brightness control overview for HP-L-10.10 Sensor (OVC)
PC-DMIS 2025.1 adds support for controlling the brightness for OVC (Overview Camera) when using the HP-L-10.10 sensor. The Overview Camera Window shows a live video stream of the part from the sensor an operators can now choose to change the brightness if the part is not clearly visible.ISO enhancements
Many more combinations of ISO calculations are now available, allowing PC-DMIS to support more complex ISO GD&T.
- Support for common ISO 14405-1 size modifiers – GX, GN, GG, LP & E
- Support for Associated Toleranced Feature Modifiers – (G), (X), (N), (C), & (T)
- Partial support for Reference Feature Association Modifiers – G & C
Measure Auto Plane Adaptive strategies in a loop
PC-DMIS can now measure planes as well as all other features using a Loop strategy. This helps users to simplify complex routines by measuring multiple repeated features more efficiently.New nominals method for scans
Scan 2D curves and keep nominal values fixed with each run. PC-DMIS will determine the measured point for a given nominal value and deviation will be reported
