A pioneer in the metrology field, METRIS (formerly LK) also provides leading software for CMM programming. The company's user-friendly CAMIO Studio application bridges the gap between CAD and CMM programming. For CAMIO Studio, HOOPS provides high-performance graphics and complements the use of the ACIS kernel; TS3D's HOOPS/Stream enables CAMIO Studio's exceptionally fast and market-leading file load speeds. |

Mitutoyo is a respected global leader in the field of metrology and dimensional measuring equipment. To complement their hardware, the software team at Mitutoyo also creates high-value software such as MCOSMOS™ - which determines variances between CAD models as they were designed and the final manufactured product. In 2003 the company sought to update the power of their display engine. After extensive research they turned to HOOPS for its strengths in mixing 3D dimensions and annotations, ease-of-use, pre-integration with popular modeling kernels as well as its tight connection with the 3D InterOp translation technologies.

In metrology, motion control, machine calibration, dental CAD/CAM and spectroscopy, Renishaw innovations enhance precision, efficiency and quality. The company’s Machine Tools division sought to further enhance the value of their metrology hardware with complementary software. Using a combination of Tech Soft 3D components, Renishaw developed Productivity + ™, a solution for tool setting, part set-up and inspection, on-machine verification, as well as in-office programming and simulation. Productivity+ uses HOOPS for display, Parasolid for geometry modeling and query as well as 3D InterOp for accurate CAD data import. By starting their development with leading components, Renishaw’s software team was able to produce a high-value solution that improves customer productivity and helps drive hardware sales.
