Scan 3.0 software is the driving force behind Metris' range of scanning solutions integrated on co-ordinate measurement machines.
The two companies have already completed the integration of Metris laser scanners in Brown and Sharpe' inspection solutions.
This strategic alliance further strengthens the relationship between the two companies.
"At Brown and Sharpe, we strongly believe that in the near future laser scanning will play a critical role in everyone's inspection process.
Beside being complementary to the traditional touch probe measurements, the speed of scanning and the availability of data on the complete part opens new opportunities for customers constantly seeking to improve their quality", says Bill Gruber, CEO at Brown and Sharpe USA.
"With this strategic alliance, we are in a perfect position to offer our customers fully integrated CMM based noncontact laser scanning solutions".
"The recognition of the Metris technology by Brown and Sharpe is an important step for Metris to further penetrate the US inspection market", comments Bart Van Coppenolle, CEO of Metris.
"A long term relationship with Brown and Sharpe, a major player in the CMM field, is also beneficial for our customers as the future product development is often determined by the exchange of critical technologies".
This new strategic alliance in the USA completes the existing partnership of Metris with European based DEA, another member of the Hexagon Metrology group.
