New Product Showcase: Master3DGage
Master3DGage
Verisurf Software, Inc and select Mastercam resellers have collaborated to bring you Master3DGage - an affordable and portable rapid 3D inspection solution that enables machine shops to significantly increase production and improve part quality. The new PC-based Master3DGage portable CMM system uses precise, 3D model-based software to quickly and accurately verify part quality - right on a CNC machine or anywhere else in the manufacturing process. There's no metrology experience needed. Just align the part, inspect it, and report it. First article inspections that used to take hours or days now take just minutes. Use the internal battery to inspect parts where you want, when you want, without being tethered to an AC outlet.
There are numerous benefits to implementing Master3DGage in your operations, including:
  • Greater productivity for all types of inspections
  • Scrap rates will decrease and profits will soar
  • Ultra-accurate, six-axis metrology
  • Inspections in three easy steps: Align, Inspect, Report.
 
Master3DGage is priced thousands of dollars under other less-robust systems and with its simple-to-use controls and interface, quality production has never been easier or more affordable.
To learn more about Master3DGage, go to www.master3dgage.com. To schedule a demonstration, call OptiPro Systems at (585) 265-0160 or send emails to lynda@optipro.com.
