So does it exist? A cursory examination says no. There are a few companies out there that will retrofit a CMM, but there doesn't seem to be much of a drive out there to share the stuff...in fact, a very clear motivation to keep it as non-descript and proprietary as possible.
So what am I missing from a operations standpoint? It seems that the electronics really aren't doing anything difficult, just generating a location in real space and sending it to the PC. Even for automatic machines operating in 3 axes, it doesn't seem like rocket science.
The software is just software. It can be stupid simple or stupid complex...depends on the end use.
So where am I going ary? What am I missing?
