Shonan Machine LLC - Customer Case Study

Shonan Machine LLC, a large Japanese prototype maker for the automotive and electronics industries, faced intense price competition and sought to expand its reverse engineering capabilities without sacrificing quality. To overcome this challenge, the company turned to vendor Hexagon for a high-performance portable laser scanning solution.

Hexagon provided an Absolute Arm with an AS1 scanner system, which enabled marker-less and wireless onsite scanning. This solution allowed Shonan Machine to offer a full range of reverse engineering services, including working with vintage and black automotive parts without causing damage. The team was very pleased with the speed and accuracy of the system, and Hexagon's support helped them develop new business and gain customer confidence, particularly in the automotive sector.
