"From architectural to artistic applications, this innovative pairing of Hexagon technologies delivers high end capabilities such as laser scanning, 3D modeling, reverse engineering, tool path generation, measurement and inspection and more. "The stone and marble industry can confidently move into data-driven production with this price/performing solution," states Gene Daniell, Product Manager of ROMER Absolute Portable Arms, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. Specific point data can also be captured from a part's surface, as scanner and probe measurements are combined in the same software session.

The integrated laser scanner is designed to capture data from almost any object surface. This digital methodology introduces a new level of speed and accuracy as compared to traditional manual methods of stone production. The scanning process captures intricately detailed part surfaces and converts point clouds into usable data for machining processes. The all-purpose metrology system delivered by the ROMER 73 series PCMM (portable coordinate measurement machine) is an ideal solution for stone cutting craftsmen who need to scan and reverse engineer existing parts.
