Metris (Leuven, Belgium) and Renishaw (Gloucestershire, UK) have announced a recent agreement under which Renishaw licenses the source code of the Metris Camio CMM software. In order to support their own further development Renishaw has also employed a number of Metris engineers. Metris preserves full ownership of the original source code and the Camio brand name. Metris will continue to develop and market Camio as its multi-sensor CMM solution as part of its continued commitment to deliver total metrology solutions based upon its LK and C3 CMM range.
Renishaw, using its new development team, will develop its own proprietary CMM software supporting Renishaw’s UCC controller family in combination with the range of Renishaw probing systems including the REVO 5-axis scanning solution. “Having access to our own software product significantly enhances our retrofit offering allowing us to complement our existing DME interface strategy with a one-stop-shop,” commented Ben Taylor, Assistant Chief Executive at Renishaw.
