Avatech Becomes Leica High Def Scanner 'Gold' Dealer
 BALTIMORE,
MD, Nov 20, 2007 - Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: AVSO.OB), the nationwide
technology experts for design, engineering, and facilities management, has
become a high definition scanner Gold Dealer with Leica Geosystems. Avatech
is among the largest US distributors for Leica Geosystems high definition
scanners (HDS), serving companies engaged in surveying, plant design,
architecture, and facilities management.
"Avatech's partnership with Leica Geosystems has helped our clients to
implement the leading edge of scanning technology and open up new lines of
business," said Bruce White, Senior Vice President of Sales at Avatech. "Our
technical experts understand the overall business, and when we sell a
scanner, we are selling a new way for our customers to provide greater
accuracy to their clients. Forward-thinking companies are leading a new wave
of engineering accuracy and efficiency by adopting these new HDS systems."
Nederveld and Associates, a full-service civil and survey engineering
firm, has purchased two high definition Leica scanners from Avatech. The
firm purchased the HDS 3000 and the HDS 6000, and uses Leica Cloudworx
software in conjunction with AutoCAD Land Desktop to produce high-accuracy
project drawings and maps. Nederveld has two surveyors dedicated to high
definition scanning projects and has successfully produced drawings for many
diverse jobs including stadiums, manufacturing facilities, plants, parks,
roads, bridges, and many architectural projects.
"The high definition measurements and digital photo images that these
scanners produce provide far greater accuracy and details. The point cloud
data can produce measurements and imagery that no ordinary measuring device
could produce," said a Nederveld spokesperson. "We can create 2D or 3D
drawings for mapping or design work, and by starting with superior field
measurements, clients receive a superior design with the risk of error
dramatically reduced."
"Avatech helped us move to the latest technology from Leica Geosystems
and Autodesk in order to gain the advantages of high definition scanning,"
said Nederveld. "Avatech also helped us generate enough business from one of
our top clients by showing them a demo of what the scanner and the software
could do that we decided to purchase a second scanner, the Leica HDS 6000."
"The Leica HDS6000 is a high speed, phase-based scanner that provides a
higher scan density form previous models. Furthermore, it is much lighter
and easier to carry than other models. With benefits like those, we can
recommend the HDS6000 for many field work applications as well as
hard-to-access places," said Michael Harvey, Product Marketing Manager. "We
partnered with Avatech to ensure implementation of our technology would be
successful and this deal with Nederveld reflects the level of service and
quality we have come to expect from Avatech."
