Measure where no other CMM can go
The Leica Absolute Tracker AT401 is a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that allows extreme precision over ultra large distances. It is powered by its own internal battery and is able to work in the most demanding environment, yet maintains the highest level of precision and the largest ever work envelope.
ZCorporation release ZScan 5.0
The release of ZScan 5.0 software provides users with the ability to thouroughly scan any part at any given resolution, within the hardware range, without limitations due to part size. All you need to know is the resolution you need and you're starting to scan.
It also improves the offline work flow by providing a single or multiple users the ability to merge scans and reconstruct surfaces from different session files.
The third feature of note included in 5.0 is automatic hole filling. When this feature is selected the time consuming process of hole filling can be automatically actioned by the software dramatically reducing the time needed to 'clean' an STL file.
