Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Portable arm expands inspection services from
GKS Inspection Services, which we summarised at the time by saying "Increases ability to provide on-site inspection and reverse engineering services to customers anywhere in North America".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Remanufacturing as a cost-effective option from

In December 2007, we covered the news from NVision
concerning its PTC software
- take a look at Programme membership adds PLM to measurement
which says: "NVision offers PTC's industry leading mechanical computer aided design (MCAD) and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions".
Take a look also at the news release from Delcam, Reverse engineering makes medical implants fit,
as well as Laser scanning company expands in India from GKS Inspection Services,
and Software eases reverse engineering from Sycode.
