Company History

Within a year of our founding in 1992 as a regional distributor of design automation products, the founders of Revware Inc. (formerly Design Automation Inc.) identified a market need for CAD-driven concept-to-product tools and began selling our first solutions. We quickly grew to become one of the largest resellers of CAD systems in the southeast United States and distributor of our proprietary CAD-driven concept-to-product software worldwide. By the end of the decade, we were designated three times as one of the Tech 50 fastest growing technology companies in North Carolina.

Revware has been committed to providing superior measurement and modeling solutions since our beginnings in 1992, and our innovative passion is still going strong after 19 years.

Our trend-setting CAD-driven modeling software product RevWorks® was released in 1997 as one of the first group of SolidWorks® Gold Partner applications and it established us as an industry leader focused on the real-time integration of three-dimensional digitizers with commercial CAD systems. RevWorks® was also the first software application to make use of the then new MicroScribe® digitizer. In 2001, we changed our name from Design Automation Inc. to Revware Inc., signifying our renewed focus on our proprietary development efforts. Today, our software development efforts continue to be focused on the creation of feature-based modeling within CAD systems to enhance productivity, creativity and accuracy.

In 2009, Revware acquired the MicroScribe digitizer product line from Immersion Corporation. This acquisition placed Revware once again on the forefront of industry efforts to increase design, development and production efficiency. We now provide designers, engineers, artists, scientists, doctors and many other creative professionals with a broad, adaptable selection of measurement tools that are very effective for improving the efficiency and accuracy of their modeling efforts. As a stand-alone point-to-point measurement tool, or as the positioning platform for laser scanners, microphones and other sensing devices, a MicroScribe digitizer provides a fast, reliable and easy-to-use method for capturing data and creating accurate three-dimensional computer models. Our software and that of more than three dozen other companies complete the integration of MicroScribe digitizers into a wide variety of generic and specialty solutions for modeling the world around us.

In 2009, Revware acquired the MicroScribe digitizer product line from Immersion Corporation. This acquisition placed Revware once again on the forefront of industry efforts to increase design, development and production efficiency.

Continuing our effort to reach new industries, in 2010 Revware announced the global release of MobiGage®, a uniquely integrated metrology system for MicroScribe digitizers. MobiGage, the first hand-held metrology application and our first metrology offering, can be installed on an iPad, iPod touch or iPhone and uses wireless communication to communicate with a stand-alone MicroScribe digitizer. With MobiGage, measurements can be captured easily and quickly following a repeatable measurement plan. A companion product, MobiGage PC, has been released in 2011 to provide this same functionality on a standard personal computer.

In 2010, Revware announced the global release of MobiGage®, the first hand-held metrology application.

In 2011 Revware has also become the international distributor of the Skiron™ laser produced by Kreon. The Skiron laser is a compact scanning attachment that has been designed specifically for MicroScribe six degree of freedom (6DoF) digitizers. In combination, the devices create an inexpensive and compact, yet very effective alternate to much more expensive non-contact data collection products.

Looking forward, the Revware team is dedicated to improving its products to bring even more measurement and modeling capability to our users. With the company’s Research Triangle Park area headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina, and production facilities in the renowned Golden Triangle of Silicone Valley in San Jose, California, Revware is positioned to continue delivering the very best metrology products and software to the marketplace.
