Hexagon's PC-DMIS 2026.2 brings complex geometry inspection into one workflow. Release adds modular gear inspection, with blade and impeller modules to follow, plus AI-based edge detection and stronger CAD-to-CMM traceability North Kingstown, RI, 29 October 2026 - Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division today released PC-DMIS 2026.2, introducing PC-DMIS Specialised Geometries, a new application that brings complex geometry inspection into a single workflow. Gear inspection modules are available now, with blade and impeller modules planned for future releases. More headlines. Articles. PC-DMIS 2026.2 also adds AI-based edge detection, faster point cloud processing, and expanded support for model-based digital thread workflows. One platform for complex geometries Specialised Geometries provides a consistent workflow for inspecting complex geometries. Delivered through separately licensed modules, it allows customers to select the capabilities they need, with the flexibility to expand into additional geometry types as the platform evolves. Cylindrical Gear and Unknown Gear are the first modules available. "PC-DMIS 2026.2 is about giving our users room to grow," said Ken Woodbine, Senior Portfolio Manager: Stationary Metrology Software. "Customers working with gears, blades and impellers have told us they want one place to do that work. Specialised Geometries delivers exactly that - with the flexibility to license only what they need." Key enhancements in PC-DMIS 2026.2 Point cloud inspection benefits from a range of improvements, including faster data handling, clearer visualisation of scan data and richer output for downstream analysis. Together, these enhancements make working with large scan datasets more efficient and support the latest scanning hardware. Programming and measurement workflows are also improved. AI Edge Detection simplifies the process of measuring difficult edges that conventional detection methods cannot capture, bringing this capability together in a single, more capable method. QuickFixture now models fixture hardware directly within the measurement routine, with new on-screen controls and automatic positioning to simplify setup. A new AutoSphere scan strategy enables spheres to be scanned rather than measured exclusively through touch probing, supporting applications where spherical form accuracy is critical. The release further strengthens the digital thread between design and inspection. Expanded STEP support for QIF-based digital thread workflows helps carry design intent through to measurement planning while maintaining traceability. PC-DMIS Protect introduces additional controls for regulated environments, while enhanced Teamcenter integration provides quality teams with clearer, auditable links between CAD data and CMM inspection. PC-DMIS Inspect also receives workflow improvements for shop-floor operators, and support for Hexagon's SENMATION sensor interface enables automatic probe changes during measurement programmes. Extended Sheetmetal Features are now included in the main installer, simplifying access to these capabilities. Further enhancements span vision systems, scanning strategies, CAD and GD&T handling, and laser scanner support. PC-DMIS 2026.2 brings together new specialised geometry inspection capabilities and a broad range of improvements across programming, scanning and quality workflows. The update will be available from October 29, 2026. For more information, visit hexagon.com.
