Trimble has acquired the assets of privately-held Callidus Precision Systems. Callidus is a provider of 3D laser scanning solutions for the industrial market. Financial terms were not disclosed. Callidus' products enhance Trimble's 3D scanning portfolio, with both close- and mid- range scanning technology.
The Callidus CP 3200 time-of-flight and the Callidus CPW 8000 pulse-wave scanners are utilised for applications within the power and manufacturing process plant markets as well as in shipbuilding and offshore applications. Spatial data captured by 3D scanners is used throughout the plant lifecycle including design, operation and maintenance. The Callidus portfolio also includes the CT 180 and CT 900 close-range scanners used in dimensional inspection and quality control applications.
Callidus will be part of Trimble's Power, Process and Plant Division within the Engineering and Construction segment.
