The Proliner 8-Series from Prodim is a compact and lightweight 3D measuring device. It features an 8.4-inch touch screen, user-friendly software, and numerous expansion options. The device weighs 8.5kg, and the measuring head can be folded into the machine to protect it during transportation.

The Proliner 8-Series has a USB port, so results can be downloaded onto a laptop or USB stick and the digitizing processing can be started immediately. It registers the x, y, z coordinates of the desired shape and translates them directly into a DXF file. Its software includes CAD functions such as trim and fillet.

After a period of time the company elected to become truly international and in 2001 a new life was breathed into the equipment under the name of Prodim International BV. Great attention was paid to developing the product, and perfecting the three dimensional concept. Today we are at the peak of technology in this field, and have introduced a new generation Proliners , the 8-Series.
