(Creaform: Levis, Canada) -- Creaform, a worldwide leader in portable and automated 3D measurement solutions, inaugurated its new European demonstration and benchmark center for its 3D scanning coordinate measurement machine (CMM), the CUBE-R. Offered as an off-the-shelf, fully integrated automated inspection solution, the measurement cell helps ensure quality through the detection of assembly issues early in the manufacturing process. The CUBE-R is primarily used in the automotive industry as an alternative to CMMs for sheet metal, casting, and composite inspection.

The new demonstration center will operate within the company’s Stuttgart office. With its central location in Europe and its proximity to major automotive leaders, the Baden-Württemberg region constitutes an important production center for OEMs and their suppliers, service companies, engineering offices, and research institutes. Today, Germany represents the fourth-largest motor vehicle producer in the world after China, United States, and Japan.
