MAESTRO software

Software that transforms workflows into insight
Application software
Smart workflows. Confident results. MAESTRO is more than a CMM — it’s a fully digital, software-connected measurement system. At the heart of this experience is a suite of purpose-built software tools that simplify programming, monitor performance, and deliver actionable insights in real time. Together, these tools help reduce cycle times, boost operator confidence, and turn quality data into competitive advantage — all seamlessly connected through Hexagon’s Nexus platform.
No-code programming for every operator
Metrology Mentor makes professional-grade measurement accessible to everyone – no programming experience required. By leveraging PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) data from CAD models, it automatically generates efficient, standards-compliant inspection routines.
Operators are guided step by step through the process, using clear visuals and intelligent recommendations that simplify complex GD&T setups. The software also integrates seamlessly with MAESTRO’s digital twin to avoid collisions and ensure accurate execution from the first run.
- Guided workflows for intuitive programming
- Automatically selects the best measurement strategy
- ISO and ASME GD&T compliant
- Fully integrated with Nexus for cross-platform collaboration

Advanced metrology software, trusted worldwide
PC-DMIS is Hexagon’s flagship inspection software, known for its power, flexibility, and support for a wide range of coordinate measurement tasks – from point probing to complex freeform surface analysis.
It enables users to design and execute highly customised inspection plans, optimise paths, and interpret results – all within a user-friendly, graphical interface. PC-DMIS works seamlessly with MAESTRO and supports multiple sensors, motion modes, and digital workflows.
- Supports both beginner and advanced users
- Full GD&T analysis with ASME and ISO compliance
- Compatible with tactile, scanning, and laser sensors
- Connects to Nexus for data sharing and extended functionality

Turn raw data into real-time insights
Metrology Reporting provides fast, clear feedback on part quality, measurement performance, and statistical trends. With its centralised reporting dashboard – accessible from any device – teams can collaborate more effectively and take action sooner.
It supports multiple report formats, from operator-friendly summaries to detailed QA logs, and integrates measurement and asset data for context-aware decision making.
- Live dashboards and customisable reports
- Accessible via browser or mobile device
- Simple statistical analysis and visualisation
- Native to Nexus platform

Stay ahead of downtime with real-time visibility
This tool gives you full oversight of your MAESTRO system’s health and productivity. It tracks runtime, usage trends, and potential issues to support preventative maintenance and optimise your OEE (Operational Equipment Effectiveness).
By identifying bottlenecks or underused assets, Metrology Asset Manager helps manufacturing teams unlock hidden capacity and reduce unplanned interruptions.
- Monitor system health, usage, and availability
- Automate alerts for maintenance events
- Improve overall equipment efficiency
- Remote monitoring and multi-system dashboards

Your digital thread for smarter manufacturing

It enables real-time collaboration, integrated application workflows, and cross-functional data sharing. With Nexus, MAESTRO becomes part of a scalable, cloud-powered infrastructure that supports growth, innovation, and speed-to-decision.
- Centralised platform for Hexagon apps
- Real-time sharing of quality data and insights
- Connects measurement, production, and analysis
- Continuous updates and expanding app ecosystem

Embedded software and automation features
Smart functions built into the system — for performance, control, and flexibility Beyond its applications, MAESTRO includes powerful embedded features designed to optimise measurement speed, system uptime, and automation readiness. These digital capabilities are fully integrated into the machine — enabling predictive maintenance, safe testing, efficient calibration, and direct communication with ERP, MES, and PLC systems. It’s all part of making MAESTRO not just a tool, but a connected platform for the future of manufacturing.
Environment Builder (digital twin)
Your virtual MAESTRO for safer planningIntegrated with PC-DMIS and Metrology Mentor, the Environment Builder provides a digital twin of your MAESTRO. It lets users manage probe assemblies, racks, and calibration artifacts, and simulate workflows – reducing error and setup time.

FastCal calibration
Faster setup, consistent precisionFastCal uses an inferred calibration method to define multiple probe angles and head orientations in a single operation. This dramatically reduces calibration time while maintaining high measurement accuracy – ideal for dynamic production environments.

Teach and Execute Mode
Safe testing, stable resultsThis dual-mode operation lets users test and validate programs in a slowed-down "Teach" environment, then switch to "Execute" mode for full-speed measurement – ensuring reliable results without compromising on throughput.
EcoMode / EcoMode+
Built-in sustainability featuresEcoMode reduces energy use and component wear by powering down during idle time. EcoMode+ goes further by stopping compressed air flow to the air bearings – cutting energy and air consumption significantly without affecting performance.
Metrology Communication Interface
Effortless automation integrationThis Ethernet-based interface connects MAESTRO to PLCs, MES, and ERP systems, enabling bi-directional communication and remote control. Paired with safe I/Os, it makes CMM automation easier and more scalable than ever before.
Throughput and Performance Upgrades
Adapt MAESTRO as your needs evolveBase systems can be field-upgraded at any time.
- Accuracy+ enhances length and scanning accuracy (ISO 10360-2 and -5 compliant)
- Throughput+ increases speed and acceleration
