Metrix Build!IT is used by designers, tool builders and inspectors at leading aerospace, automotive and manufacturers worldwide. By using Metrix Build!IT in place of 2D prints, digital designs are seamlessly linked to manufacturing. Metrix Build!IT provides a common, real-time interactive interface to all the leading portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).

"Metrix Build!IT contains the features that engineers and designers have been asking for and supports a seamless digital-manufacturing process demanded by today's lean manufacturing environments. It is very functional, very easy-to-use and very robust " according to Dr. Arnold Free, Vice President, Business Development.

Metrix Build!IT introduces a new concept for tool building and routine inspection, which allows changes to the traditional manufacturing process. This application preserves the CAD link by bringing CAD models directly onto the shop floor. It takes the guesswork and visualization problems out of the build and inspection processes by providing a graphical build mode, which
allows you to watch your assembly parts as they move into place.

Metrix Build!lT is priced from $9,500 and is designed to run on Windows 98/NT/2000 and XP platforms and supports interactive real-time interfaces to leading metrology hardware from Leica, API, SMX, Faro, Romer and others. For further product and pricing information contact MAYA Metrix.
