In 1995 two Dutch entrepreneurs developed a digital measuring device to measure 2-dimensionally. Later o­n this product was developed to a 3-dimensional measuring device. The company was primarily active in the Dutch market. After a period of time the company elected to become truly international and in 2001 a new life was breathed into the equipment under the name of Prodim International BV. Great attention was paid to developing the product, and perfecting the three dimensional concept. Today we are at the peak of technology in this field. The market has developed further and Prodim International is known the world over. The company is active in all European countries, the USA, Australia and Asia. The company has focused o­n the natural stone industry, glass, woodworking and ship building. The company is continuously in search for new sales areas, as well as new uses for this amazing digitizer.

Prodim Announces Revolutionary Digital Measuring Device
*** Do it o­nce, and do it well ***

  

Three dimensional objects normally require excessive time to measure precisely. Similarly it is almost impossible to measure complicated and irregular shaped objects without mistakes. Few companies can afford this waste of time and money. Prodim announces a revolutionary new product which can make digital measurements quickly and very accurately.

The ultramodern Proliner® takes a most of the work out of difficult measurements. This mobile measuring device records the measuring points very precisely and then saves the collected information digitally. Since the Proliner® can be easily connected to the common CAD-systems, it is possible to get accurate drawings in just a couple of minutes.

The advanced Proliner® has extensively proven itself in practice. Numerous companies, including well established yacht, glasswork, and interior builders, daily save time and money thanks to this mobile measuring machine. The Proliner® is extremely useful for measuring curved windows, doors, interiors and hull decks when constructing a new yacht or during renovation works.

The Proliner® is capable of precise measurements of straight, curved, or very complex shapes. It doesn’t matter whether the object is in a horizontal, vertical or slanting position. It is also possible to measure a combination of these positions at o­nce. In just a couple of seconds, the special pointer marks the relevant points in order to register the outlines of the object. All the measuring data will automatically be registered digitally. Measurements up to 10 meters can be made at o­ne time and larger measurements can be made by combining drawings in a simple “leap frog” process.

Thanks to a direct link to common CAD-systems, measured outlines can be quickly translated to a scale drawing; what’s more, the Proliner® can be connected to CNC production machines. This makes separated programming unnecessary and results in shortened run time. 

The Proliner® is solidly constructed to withstand actual “in the field” working conditions. The Proliner® 3D can be used in horizontal and vertical positions plus it can rest at any angle. The touch screen also has contrast regulation to provide a razor sharp display.

The device is compact, o­nly 10 kilos, has a rechargeable battery, and can be taken anywhere. Starting up the Proliner® requires zero calibration and set up time, so measuring can be started immediately.

Two measuring pens have been developed for the Proliner®:

-Pointer

This pen is meant for measuring internal outlines (interior), like door frames and glass openings.

-Scanner

This pen is meant for measuring exteriors like wooden templates, vellums and kitchen sinks.

The Proliner® offers the following practical advantages:

• It is very compact, easy to carry and user friendly. Digital measurements and outlines are fast and precise. Time and money are saved. Making time-consuming templates has become a redundant task of the past.

• Measurements are 100% reliable. Significant amounts of money can be saved through efficient use of materials, minimal mistakes and reduced process time.

• Objects with complicated shapes, for example round, slanting, or curved objects can be measured easily; for example double curved yacht glass.

• All measuring data can be digitally saved, and connection with CAD-systems and CNC machinery is simple and fast.

• The production of a measuring report for customers, for your own administration or internal production control is very easy and at greatly reduced costs. Furthermore, measuring results can be printed at scale.
