Immersion Corp and Maya Metrix have combined to provide Maya Metrix Build!IT software support for Immersion MicroScribe systems.

This hardware and software combination gives engineers in the aerospace, automotive and manufacturing industries a new tool for inspecting parts and assemblies.

"Metrix Build!IT support for the MicroScribe system broadens our customer base beyond the current CAD/CAM and graphic arts applications.

Any engineer working on a complex mechanical assembly needs effective inspection tools to make sure parts will fit together properly", said Greg Belaus, Senior Director of 3D business group for Immersion.

"With Maya Metrix adding Build!IT software support, the MicroScribe system is now a viable, affordable and portable tool for manufacturing inspection processes".

In addition to digitising, engineers using MicroScribe systems with Metrix Build!IT can perform dimensional inspections using native 3D CAD master models, reducing potential errors that otherwise could impact processes downstream.

Users can also efficiently build tools for the manufacturing process by measuring and building manufacturing assembly fixtures.

Metrix Build!IT simply shows the user where to move the MicroScribe system to locate points and details in the assembly in order to move parts into place.

"Our goal is to support a wide range of measurement hardware, providing our customers with a single metrology software platform", said Arnold Free, Vice President of Business Development, Maya Metrix.

"Our customers have requested MicroScribe system support because it is a nice alternative to competitors arms; it is about one-fourth the cost and more portable, which is exactly what our customers want, especially customers doing reverse-engineering work on automotive parts".

Through the end of 2003 Immersion will be offering special bundles featuring a MicroScribe G2X system and Metrix Build!IT software for one low price of $9995, saving $3500, or over 25%.
