Metris & Renishaw Agree on Licensing of Metris Camio CMM Software

By DE Editors

Metris (Leuven, Belgium) and Renishaw (Gloucestershire, UK) announce 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.

Starting from the rich measurement and inspection capabilities offered today by the Camio software, Renishaw using its new development team, will develop its own proprietary CMM software supporting Renishaw’s UCC controller family in combination with the wide range of Renishaw probing systems including the REVO 5-axis scanning solution.

One of the world's leading engineering technology companies, Renishaw, based in the UK, specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of precision metrology and inspection equipment, which is sold to a broad range of industrial sectors. Renishaw plc has been honored with twelve Queen’s Awards to date, recognizing Technological Achievement, Export Achievement and, most recently in April 2007, for Enterprise in the Innovations category.
