Proliner software 6.1 with Flatness Check 2.0

Save Time, Money, and Headaches with Instant Surface Analysis

Prodim is excited to announce the launch of Flatness Check 2.0 as part of the Proliner software 6.1 release. This groundbreaking feature empowers fabricators to quickly and accurately determine the flatness of any surface, whether it’s a wall, floor, or countertop base. With Flatness Check 2.0, you can now make informed decisions before starting a job, saving days of work and thousands of euros per year.

Why Flatness Matters

In fabrication, flatness is everything. Today’s trends toward thinner and larger materials, like 320 x 160 cm (120″ x 60″) porcelain slabs at just 6mm (1/4″) thick or ultra-thin 12mm (1/2″) quartz countertops, make flat surfaces even more critical, amplifying the need for precision. Uneven surfaces can lead to costly mistakes, wasted materials, and delays. Whether you’re installing a backsplash, wall tiles, mirrors, a countertop base, or even setting up machinery, knowing the flatness of the surface is essential. Flatness Check 2.0 is the first tool in the market that allows you to check flatness during the measurement process, making it simple, fast, and flexible.

Before starting your measurement, fabricators can now open the “Floating Z-value” button, which displays the Z-value (height) of every point measured. This allows you to perform a quick check on suspicious points or conduct a full flatness analysis of the entire surface. No more guesswork, just instant, actionable data.

With the new flatness check 2.0, you check the evenness of walls, floors, and surfaces in just a few seconds.

How Flatness Check 2.0 Works

Flatness Check 2.0 is designed to be intuitive and efficient. Here’s how it works:

1 – Activate the Floating Z-Value Button:
Before or during your measurement, open the Floating Z-value button to see the Z-value (height) of each point as you measure.
2 – Check Suspicious Points:
If you notice any irregularities, you can quickly verify whether they fall within your acceptable range.
3 – Full Flatness Analysis:
For a comprehensive analysis, measure additional points across the surface. Flatness Check 2.0 will automatically identify the highest and lowest points of the surface.
4 – Generate a Report:
Once you’ve measured the necessary points, click “Generate Report” to create a detailed flatness report. You can even add custom markup text for internal use or to share with your customer.

Flatness Check 2.0 answers critical questions for fabricators:

What offset is needed for my work? (e.g., backsplash, wall-tiles, mirrors, countertop base, machine installation floor)
Should I level the surface or have it plastered first?
Should I accept this job to begin with?

With this feature, you can avoid costly surprises and ensure every project starts on the right foot.

A practical example: Check the flatness of a wall for a splashback

Let’s say you’re a fabricator working on a high-end kitchen backsplash with large-format 120x 120 cm (48″ x 48″) ceramic tiles that are only 6mm (1/4″) thick. The client expects a flawless finish, but the wall isn’t perfectly flat. Without Flatness Check 2.0, you might not notice the unevenness until you’ve already installed the tiles, leading to rework, wasted materials, and unhappy clients.

With Flatness Check 2.0, here’s how you can avoid this nightmare:

1 – Measure the Wall:
Start by measuring the wall where the backsplash will be installed. As you measure, the Floating Z-value button shows the height of each point in real time.
2 – Identify Problem Areas:
You notice a few points where the Z-value deviates significantly from the rest. These are potential trouble spots.
3 – Check Flatness:
Use Flatness Check 2.0 to measure additional points across the wall. The tool quickly identifies the highest and lowest points, showing a 3mm deviation in one corner.
4 – Decide on the Offset:
With this data, you can determine the offset needed to ensure the backsplash fits perfectly. Alternatively, you might decide that the deviation is too great and decline the job before wasting time and materials.
5 – Generate a Report:
Create a flatness report to document the wall’s condition. You can share this with the client to explain why an offset is necessary or why the job isn’t feasible in its current state.

By using Flatness Check 2.0, you’ve saved hours of rework, avoided material waste, and maintained your reputation for quality work. This feature doesn’t just save you time, it protects your bottom line.

Why Flatness Check 2.0 Stands Out

Flatness Check 2.0 is unlike any other tool on the market because it:

Works in Real Time: Check flatness during the measurement process, not after.
Simple and Fast: No complicated setup, just press a button and start measuring.
Flexible: Use it for quick checks or full flatness analysis, depending on your needs.
Saves Money: Avoid costly mistakes by identifying flatness issues before starting the job.
