Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced a strategic partnership with Prosper Machine Tool to expand the reach of its advanced metrology and digital manufacturing technologies across the Central and Southwestern United States. This collaboration will cover manufacturers in North and Central Texas, Arizona, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, and North Louisiana, giving companies in these regions direct access to Hexagon’s cutting-edge inspection systems and simulation software alongside Prosper’s trusted, localized service.
Prosper Machine Tool, a family-owned company with more than a decade of experience in the machine tool industry, has built its reputation on providing hands-on support and customer-focused solutions. With this new partnership, the company will now extend its expertise into metrology by launching the Prosper Metrology Group, led by Ken Lambert. This division is dedicated to delivering Hexagon’s precision measurement technologies to regional manufacturers facing increasing production complexity, a rising demand for automation, and ongoing workforce skill shortages.

The Prosper Metrology Group will provide turnkey solutions aimed at reducing defect rates, streamlining inspection processes, and optimizing overall production efficiency. The initiative also includes collaboration with Innovative Measuring Systems (IMS), based in Phoenix, Arizona, which joins as a Hexagon Value Added Representative. IMS will strengthen regional support by offering sales, service, and spare parts expertise to Hexagon customers across Arizona, leveraging its team of experienced measurement professionals to provide reliable, on-the-ground assistance.
The partnership also expands access to Hexagon’s leading software portfolio. Prosper Machine Tool will now offer tools such as Simufact Welding and Volume Graphics, which enable manufacturers to simulate, analyze, and validate production processes more efficiently. In addition, customers will benefit from Hexagon’s renowned physical measurement solutions, including the Absolute Arm Portable Coordinate Measurement Machine, which provides unmatched precision, reduces inspection time, and helps eliminate bottlenecks in production workflows.
