With a background in imaging and inspection projects for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the U.S. Army Missile Command's Advanced Sensors Directorate and aerospace manufacturers, the creators of LaserGauge® identified the need for an off-the-shelf contour measurement system, capable of being adapted to different applications. Origin Technologies was founded in 1994 and introduced LaserGauge® to the market. Within nine months of the company’s founding, its first laser-based, portable dimensional measurement system was sold. Since that time, thousands of systems have been shipped to customers worldwide.

In 2020, Origin Technologies was acquired by Linear Measurement Instruments, Corp. (LMI), a long-time distributor of Lasergauge® products. LMI provides a wide variety of dimensional gauging tools, including sequential flush & gap gauges, surface probes, true position gauges, data collectors, digital transmitters, non-contact laser sensors, door closing effort sensors, support software utilities, and fully automated gauging systems. LMI’s three decades worth of experience and know-how provides the world’s leading automotive and aerospace companies with unique gauging tools that lead to increased quality and productivity, which in turn lead to improved products and cost savings.
