Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced a strategic collaboration with JDC-Miller MotorSports, a Minnesota-based IMSA racing team.
At the center of the collaboration will be Hexagon’s advanced metrology solutions, including its patented Marvelscan scanning device, which will enable the team to generate highly accurate 3D scans of vehicles before each race, ensuring they are consistently in compliance.
Marvelscan will be used alongside other metrology technologies, including the Hexagon Absolute Arm, a portable coordinate measurement machine (PCMM) known for its accuracy and compliance with recognized ISO standards. According to Hexagon, its devices and technologies are designed to work within a single ecosystem, helping to eliminate silos and make data sharing easier. This should enable JDC-Miller MotorSports to expand and adopt additional technology as its challenges and priorities evolve.
“We at JDC-Miller MotorSports are excited about the many ways we can utilize Hexagon’s technology,” said John Church, managing partner, No. 85 JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963. “In the IMSA WeatherTech Championship series, it is essential for our car to be in compliance at all times. Utilizing the Hexagon tools allows us to arrive at the track and breeze through technical inspection. The Porsche 963 is a precision instrument, just like the advanced equipment Hexagon produces – it only makes sense to use the best. We believe Hexagon is a natural partner in the high-tech environment of the GTP class within the IMSA WeatherTech Championship.”
