Mechasys and Maine Technical Source (MTS) have formed a strategic partnership to introduce Projected Reality layout technology to construction professionals across the Northeastern United States. The agreement makes MTS an authorized distributor of the Mechasys XR Projector system, a technology designed to project full-scale BIM and CAD designs directly onto jobsite surfaces. The partnership combines Mechasys’ construction technology with MTS’s experience in geomatics, measurement, and layout solutions.
Mechasys and Maine Technical Source Announce XR Projector Distribution Partnership
Mechasys, a global developer of Projected Reality (PR) solutions for construction and manufacturing, has partnered with Maine Technical Source to expand access to its XR Projector system across the Northeast.
Under the agreement, Maine Technical Source becomes an authorized distributor responsible for sales, certified service, calibrations, and on-site field demonstrations for the Mechasys XR Projector throughout its territory.
The partnership connects Mechasys’ patented projection technology with MTS’s established customer support network and technical expertise in construction measurement and positioning solutions.
Maine Technical Source has supported professionals in surveying, construction, GIS, reality capture, and sUAS/drone applications since 1974. The company provides field equipment, software, training, repair services, and technical support through its operations across New England and New York.
XR Projector Brings 1:1 BIM and CAD Layouts to Jobsites
The Mechasys XR Projector provides a digital approach to construction layout by projecting full-scale designs directly onto floors, walls, and ceilings.
The system converts BIM and CAD files into physical jobsite layouts at a 1:1 scale. According to Mechasys, the patented laser projection technology delivers millimetric accuracy and operates across different jobsite environments.
The technology helps contractors move beyond traditional layout methods such as:
- Tape measurements
- Chalk lines
- Manual string setups
By connecting digital construction models with physical work areas, the XR Projector provides teams with a direct way to visualize design information during construction activities.
Improving Construction Layout Accuracy and Workflow Efficiency
Construction layouts provide the foundation for accurate installation and coordination. Errors during layout activities can affect project schedules, material use, and trade coordination.
The Mechasys XR Projector is designed to simplify this process by allowing construction professionals to project digital designs directly onto working surfaces.
The system supports contractors by providing:
- Full-scale visualization of BIM and CAD drawings
- Precise placement references for construction activities
- A connection between digital designs and physical jobsites
- Reduced reliance on manual layout processes
For commercial construction teams, accurate layout information helps create a clearer workflow between design documents and field execution.
Supporting Contractors Through Local Technical Expertise
The partnership between Mechasys and Maine Technical Source combines technology development with regional support.
MTS has built its reputation by providing measurement and positioning solutions for construction professionals. The company works with more than 35 leading manufacturers and supports customers through equipment supply, training, service, and technical assistance.
Through the new agreement, contractors throughout the Northeastern U.S. can access the Mechasys XR Projector alongside local support services from MTS.
This includes product demonstrations, certified service, and calibration support to help users integrate the technology into their construction workflows.
Industry Response to the Projected Reality Partnership
Mechasys and Maine Technical Source highlighted the importance of improving construction layout accuracy and providing contractors with reliable technology solutions.
Darcy Shunk, Vice President of Sales – North America at Mechasys, said accurate layout plays an important role in construction project profitability.
“In today’s fast-paced commercial construction landscape, layout accuracy is the foundation of a project’s profitability,” Shunk said.
Shunk also emphasized MTS’s experience in geomatics and layout technology, describing the company’s technical expertise and customer service as key factors in expanding Projected Reality technology in the Northeast.
Stuart MacDonald from Maine Technical Source said the partnership supports customer demand for faster field workflows while maintaining precision.
“As our customers look for ways to accelerate their field workflows without sacrificing precision, the Mechasys XR Projector is a perfect fit for our portfolio,” MacDonald said.
Mechasys XR Projector Connects Digital Design and Physical Construction
The Mechasys XR Projector represents an approach that links digital design information with active construction environments.
BIM and CAD models provide detailed project information during planning and design phases. The XR Projector extends that information into the field by displaying layouts directly where construction teams perform their work.
This connection between digital files and physical spaces supports clearer communication among construction professionals working from the same design information.
The partnership with Maine Technical Source expands access to this technology by combining Mechasys’ projection system with a regional provider experienced in construction measurement solutions.
