Hmmm, reminds me a bit of the ancient tracer mills from the
dark ages.

Have been looking at Micrium suspect they might be really good.
Tried µC-probe, a really good idea and a really good software to have for real
time applications but at least the GUI must have been written by a "modern"
programmer with all newly invented programming paradigms or whatever it is

From my understanding, you do need to follow a prescribed pattern of placing
the marker tape but you don’t need to be very accurate. The tape is merely a
“marker” placed “wherever”. The trick is in

Best in mind that Shaper Origin is only as accurate as the position sticker
strips.
But the idea of an accurate sub-axis on an inaccurate main
Install this on a machine. The accuracy of the machine would not have to be
very close. This would allow a VERY cheap machine to manufacture to pretty
good tolerances.
Maybe a robot arm.
Use this with a probe on a robot arm to collect geometric data for
inspection.

It’s one of the best ideas I have seen. Really clever. (I have been following
it for years).
I have never _quite_ had an excuse to buy one.

Large companies want a known brand high end machine with a comprehensive
support contract. Big CNC manufacturers use either their own control
