Aptella brings laser projection to Australia

Aptella has announced the launch of the Mechasys XR projector laser system

Aptella is exclusively offering the new Mechasys XR projector laser system in Australia and New Zealand for the projection of laser layouts.

Aptella says this “marks a seismic shift in how interior trades approach project layout” by eliminating human error from measuring out plans on site. Instead, the XR Projector projects construction designs directly onto work surfaces with sub-3mm accuracy, enabling single-operator functionality and real-time updates.

The XR Projector is developed by Mechasys, a global technology company specialising in “Projected Reality” solutions for construction and manufacturing. The XR Projector’s key capabilities include sub-3mm accuracy across an 18-metre working diameter, single-operator functionality, real-time as-built updates, reduced reliance on traditional accessories such as survey poles and prisms, and an intuitive user interface designed for on-site use.

Key benefits from the technology include dramatically reduced labour costs, elimination of costly rework, faster project completion times, improved accuracy, reduced material waste, and enhanced reputation for precision and reliability.
“We’re not just bringing new technology to market, we’re partnering with customers to transform their operations,” Aptella market development manager for building automation technology Mitchell Laughlin says.

“Every demonstration I conduct reinforces why this technology is so transformative. When contractors see their floor and reflected ceiling plans projected with laser precision in real time, the reaction is immediate – they understand this changes everything.”

William St-Pierre, Co-Founder and CEO of Mechasys, adds: “Launching the XR Projector in Australia and New Zealand is a major milestone for Mechasys and marks the beginning of an exciting growth chapter for our business.

“We’re proud to partner with Aptella, their deep industry knowledge, technical expertise, and commitment to customer success give us complete confidence that our brand and technology are in the best possible hands. Aptella isn’t just a distributor, they’re a strategic partner who shares our vision for transforming construction layout.”
