We definitely considered your idea initially.</p><p>When we looked into it, we determined that software that integrates with measuring arms are slick but also very expensive. You are looking at usually upwards of $20k for the software and another $100k for the measuring device. You can find lower quality scanning software for a little less but you still have the problem with the measuring arm. The softwares also take a fair amount of training to learn and implement which adds additional cost for the end user and further delays deployment.</p><p>It was a tough decision but we decided to focus on companies that wanted simple,easy to use software to automate their inspection process but without breaking the bank. Users are typically creating their own inspection forms with our software in about an hour. We have to constantly reevaluate the decision though as market conditions change so we will definitely keep it in mind.</p><p>Jeff</p>jncopeTue, 07 Oct 2008 02:42:37 -0000https://www.solidsmack.com/resources/inspection-expert-automated-inspection-sheets-for-solidworks/#comment-2899451<p>Wow!
