SpatialAnalyzer 2025 (SA) is a professional large-scale precision measurement and analysis software developed by New River Kinematics (NRK) in the United States and now part of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. The software is widely regarded as the standard solution in the industrial measurement field, particularly in aerospace, shipbuilding, energy, automotive manufacturing, and satellite industries. Below are its core features and functions:
Core Positioning and Technical Features
Professional Measurement Platform
Specifically designed for portable measurement devices (such as laser trackers, portable CMMs, theodolites, etc.), it supports simultaneous operation of multiple instruments and complex data integration, enabling efficient on-site measurement of large-scale components.
Provides an intuitive 3D graphical environment, supporting the loading of multiple CAD formats (such as IGES, STEP, CATIA, UG, Pro/E, etc.), enabling direct comparison and analysis of measurement data with models.
Core functional advantages
SpatialAnalyzer 2025.1 Advanced alignment technology: Includes reference point system (RPS) alignment, coordinate system optimization, and other functions, and supports tree-structured storage of alignment data for traceability and verification.
Dynamic feature extraction: Automatically fits geometric features (such as cylinders and planes) from point clouds, detects deviations from CAD models in real time, and supports B-spline curve generation and surface contour analysis.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Analysis: Features automated tolerance detection capabilities, new status icons for quick identification of inspection results, and support for customized report output.
Measurement Network Optimization (USMN): Establishes a multi-instrument measurement network, calculates point uncertainty, and improves measurement accuracy for large assemblies.
