Hexagon Launches Quindos 2026.1 with Advanced Measurement and Scanning Capabilities for Complex Geometries!
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has released Quindos 2026.1, the latest version of its metrology software designed for the inspection and analysis of complex geometries. The updated platform introduces enhanced capabilities for coordinate measuring machine (CMM) monitoring, high-speed scanning, CAD-based programming, and advanced analysis, helping manufacturers improve productivity while maintaining high levels of measurement precision.
The new release focuses on strengthening inspection workflows across planning, execution, and evaluation stages. One of the key upgrades is full support for the latest CMM Check 3.0 standard, enabling more reliable and standard-compliant machine monitoring. This capability helps manufacturers ensure the accuracy and stability of measurement systems while supporting quality assurance and compliance requirements.
Quindos 2026.1 also simplifies high-speed scanning processes through enhanced variable scanning functionality. By reducing programming complexity and streamlining measurement routine creation, the software enables faster inspection cycles and more intuitive operation. This is particularly valuable in environments where complex components and tight production timelines require rapid yet precise inspection workflows.
The software further expands CAD-based programming capabilities with support for rotary table workflows. Users can now generate measurement points for multi-axis setups in a single step, reducing manual intervention and improving consistency during complex inspection operations. This enhancement is designed to improve efficiency in applications involving intricate geometries and multi-orientation measurements.
Another major focus of the update is advanced gear and drive-train analysis. Quindos 2026.1 introduces enhanced evaluation tools such as Hirth serration runout analysis, detailed gear-tooth-thickness visualisation, and cylindrical worm-tip-relief evaluation. These tools provide deeper insights into component quality, helping manufacturers identify deviations more accurately and optimise performance in precision mechanical systems.
To improve overall usability, the release includes guided geometry handling, predefined evaluation strategies, and multiple user interface enhancements aimed at simplifying workflows for both experienced and new users. These updates reduce learning curves and improve operational efficiency across inspection teams.
The software also strengthens compatibility with modern 3D scanning technologies through support for E57 point cloud data and improved mesh handling capabilities. This allows smoother integration with advanced scanning systems and enhances the analysis of complex surfaces and freeform geometries.
Overall, Quindos 2026.1 reflects the growing demand for smarter and more automated metrology solutions capable of handling increasingly sophisticated manufacturing requirements. By combining advanced analysis tools, faster scanning workflows, and improved automation, Hexagon is enabling manufacturers to achieve higher productivity, more consistent measurement results, and improved quality control across complex inspection applications.
