We are investigating the viability of CMM technology in our shop. No time-sensitivity to it, just some scouting.

Given the size (some with very small detail, say a .015 dia nipple at the end of a pin with a 30-degree angle, tolerances in the .0002 (total) range, the need to check roundness, concentricity, taper, and in some cases thin-walled ejector sleeves that misbehave under spring pressure, I'm pointing my nose in the direction of non-contact laser/light CMMs.

Does anyone have experience with the Novacam Microcam 3D? It appears small/portable, which would lend itself to either the "lab" environment or out on the production floor.
 
In a more general sense then, apart from a specific brand query:

Who makes use of a laser based or "coherent interferometer" CMM?

Has it met your expectations for:

Accuracy?
Speed?
Repeatability?
Placement? (e.g. at the machining position versus in a protected "lab")
Service / Maintenance / Calibration expectations?

Thanks in advance.
