(NMI: Brighton, MI) -- Nikon Metrology Inc. (NMI) announces a software breakthrough with Metrologic Group that provides a complete set of new functionalities and applications for Laser Radar and other NMI products.

Metrologic has combined large-scale capabilities into its popular Metrolog software, which now offers large-scale point clouds with fully automated functionalities. These include edge detection, curve- and surface-based feature extraction, best-in-class GD&T, point-cloud analysis, and a single interface throughout the range of Nikon Metrology’s product line.

“Analyzing and using point-cloud data generated by any of Nikon Metrology’s laser scanning products, including our Laser Radar, is now easier than ever,” says Robert Wasilesky, senior vice president of sales, the Americas, for Nikon Metrology. “Simply scan a part directly into Metrolog X4 to process measurement results quickly and accurately. There’s no limit to the features you can measure directly or extract automatically from this point cloud. Simply compare the point cloud directly to a CAD model for simple go/no-go conditions or overall deviations to the model.”
