| Geomagic and Z Corporation Sign a New Agreement Geomagic has signed an exclusive, joint worldwide agreement with Z Corporation. As part of the deal, Geomagic will provide Geomagic Studio software in a comprehensive bundle with the new Z Corporation ZScanner 700. The ZScanner 700 is the first self-positioning 3D laser scanner. The lightweight, handheld device is ready to use in minutes and free of traditional mechanical arms, making it ideal for scanning hard-to-reach places. It offers real-time surfacing, captures 3D data in one continuous process to reduce post-processing, and uniquely allows objects to be moved during scanning. Geomagic Studio creates accurate models from any physical part, making it ideal for emerging applications like the mass production of customized devices, build-to-order manufacturing, and digital asset archiving for automatic recreation of legacy parts. Geomagic Qualify offers a certified way to compare as-built versus as-designed with automatic reporting to make inspection analysis simple and fast. The joint agreement represents the fusion of two visionary companies actively pursuing the democratization of the prototyping and scanning market for industries such as aerospace, automotive, consumer, education, footwear, government, healthcare and packaging. The combination of the ZScanner 700 with Geomagic Studio and Geomagic Qualify brings a highly sophisticated level of digital shape sampling for rapid prototyping, design, and quality assurance. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
