Technology For engineering, accuracy is important so to check accuracy Tokyo Boeki Techno Systems made their Vectoron which using a non-contact stylus probe point can collect surface, point, and line data about a object to measure production precision. This machine can compare the computer design data to the physical product. In the past when collecting data on dark or shiny areas, manufacturers had to spray the surface but this technology doesn't need any spray. The Vectoron can be used for feasibility testing and reverse engineering for reproducing artifacts or constructing cars from models. With 6 axes in each joint, the Vectoron is flexible and easy to maneuver.
