Bowers Group has also announced a significant update to its Baty Fusion metrology software, Baty Fusion, which is designed to work seamlessly with Baty’s range of vision machines and profiles projectors.

The latest version introduces several key features including a new touch probe lobing calibration option, an all-new CAD window with improved tools, as well as the innovative Leapfrog feature which allows you to measure parts larger than the working volume of the machine and can now also be used to measure parts that require rotating to gain a full 3D vision inspection of the part.
