Announcing World's Most Advanced Digital Shape Scanner

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 5, 2006

BOSTON, June 5, 2006. Dimensional Photonics International, Inc. (DPI), a leading provider of digital shape scanning systems to global industry, announced today that it will launch a new product designated "AFI 5000P" at the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) in July 2006.

"Digital shape scanners snap 3D " 'photos' of objects almost as simply as your digital camera snaps family photos," according to Olaf N. Krohg, DPI's Chairman & CEO. "3D photos are essentially CAD (computer aided design) models of objects. Our 'photos' are accurate to microns (a human hair is about 25 microns thick) and can be taken in as little as ten seconds."

Industry experts like Peter Marks note that digital shape scanners can be used in a variety of applications. For example, scanners can be used to create a CAD model of an object ("reverse engineering"), to compare a scanned object to it's associated CAD model ("inspection"), to monitor changes in objects that are manufactured on assembly lines ("process control"), and to scan objects for the simple purpose of communication ("visualization"). See DPI's website for a link to Mr. Mark's white paper published by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and entitled: "Capturing Competitive Edge through Digital Shape Scanning and Processing."

DPI's shape scanners are based on technology developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) called Accordion Fringe Interferometry (AFI). AFI based scanners use lasers to essentially immerse an object in 3D patterns of light. A digital camera records the way that the light patterns reflect off of a part surface in order to create the 3D photograph of the object.

CMSC is a society of users/manufacturers of close tolerance, industrial coordinate measurement systems. "Most of DPI's customers," according to Scott Ackerson, DPI's President, "are manufacturers of high precision parts in industries such as aerospace, automotive and power generation equipment, so CMSC is a logical venue for our AFI 5000P product launch."
