Simulation.Lab™

The Efficacy of the Polyrix Simulator

The Polyrix Simulator is a physics-based light simulation software designed to replicate the functionality of a real PolyScan system. It simulates the scanners’ images projected by its projectors, and those captured by its cameras. This allows users to virtually reconstruct 3D data out of a CAD model for any PolyScan configuration, without the need of a physical part.


This tool provides key insights such as the data coverage on specific parts and expected accuracy. It can also be used to evaluate the impact of fixture design, optimizing camera and projector placement, and ensuring full part coverage. Once the PolyScan system has been deployed, it can also help to introduce new parts in the PolyScan without interrupting current production or process.

Simulation.Lab Benefits

  • No Physical Part or Scanner Required
    Physically accurate light propagation
    simulation with only a CAD model.
  • Reduces Evaluation Costs and Delays
    Eliminate shipping delays, avoid travel,
    and reduce the time-to-demo. Save on
    shipping and logistics and prevent wear
    or damage on the part by relying on
    virtual models.
  • Optimal System Configuration Guarantee
    Simulate and virtually configure the
    PolyScan to precisely meet project
    requirements and use this information
    to determine the ideal number of
    scanning units tailored to each project
    therefore optimizing its costs.
  • Offline Project Configuration
    Prepare and validate project setups for
    new pieces to scan or system upgrades
    like Smart.Fit and Fast.Scan.
  • Offline Fixture Design
    Design fixtures virtually, ensuring better
    alignment without the need for physical
    prototypes.
