The Borbolla distributorship will allow Laser Design to showcase and demonstrate its portable and high-precision scanning systems to Mexican customers.
Laser Design has signed a distribution agreement with Borbolla Metrology in Saltillo, Coahuila State, Mexico to meet the increased demand for its Surveyor 3D laser scanning systems throughout the entire country.
The Borbolla distributorship will allow the company to showcase and demonstrate its portable and high-precision scanning systems to Mexican customers.
Coahuila State, just south of the Texas border, is fast becoming a manufacturing centre for many industries including mould-making and automotive companies.
Saltillo is considered the Detroit of Mexico because of the presence of several major automotive plants including General Motors, Daimler Chrysler, Delphi, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Freightliner and Volkswagen.
Laser Design's Surveyor 3D scanning systems provide a much-needed technology to improve inspection processes as well as support reverse engineering and CAD modeling used in product design and development for these industries.
"Borbolla Metrology is an important addition in our strategy for becoming the global leader in 3D laser scanning systems", said Armando Alonso, Laser Design Vice President.
"Our new Mexican distributor increases the reach of our sales team and also delivers excellent and timely support to our local customers".
"Their expert technicians can service and calibrate Surveyor systems onsite, so customers don't experience any loss of productivity".
"This makes us even more competitive as a supplier to many Mexican manufacturers".
Laser scanning systems project laser light onto surfaces while cameras continuously triangulate the changing distance and profile of the laser as it sweeps along, enabling the object to be accurately replicated.
Laser scanners can quickly measure large parts while generating far greater numbers of data co-ordinates than touch probes without the need for templates or fixtures.
Laser scanning reproduces the complete geometry of a complex part to a high level of accuracy, often to within 1 thousandth of an inch.
Laser Design's Surveyor 3D laser scanning systems suit the inspection, reverse engineering and product design and development applications typical for manufacturing in Mexico.
The Surveyor Scan Control software which is included in the system automates the process of scanning to gather millions of co-ordinates and editing the data into a useable format.
Systems also include Geomagic software for generating easy to read colour error deviation maps that clearly delineate any variations between the as-built part and the design intent.
