Background

 

Prodim International BV is a manufacturer of state-of-the-art, patent-protected measuring devices and data management software. The flagship product, the Proliner, is a portable digital measuring tool that can be used to measure a wide range of 2D or 3D objects such as doors, stairs, kitchens, windshields, boat decks, and more. Measurements can be easily edited and verified on the Proliner using the integrated touch screen and onboard software. Then finally exported for further processing in CAD programs or even directly on various CNC machines.

Prodim’s software development efforts are currently focused on their own Windows desktop software, Prodim Factory, which enables users to manage projects, edit and verify measurement data, and design end products by merging CAD data with photogrammetry. They strive to provide complete solutions that help customers to remain competitive in the rapidly digitizing world. To achieve this, they improve their industry-specific software, with particular emphasis on solving technical complexities, providing flexibility, and easy-to-use interfaces.
