I am looking for the same thing ,have you gotten anywhere with this

I have a Vortech table as well, did you ever have any luck setting up your probe to work with your table.
Curious if you were able to make it work and what input pin configuration you used.
Thanks

There is a plugin called Scan3d for Mach3. There is a lot more info on the Mach3 forums. Sorry don't have a direct link, and it looks like the Mach3 laser scanning technology is still in development, but it looks like some are having good results. Look at the Mach3 forums under "Video Probing".

Here is the link to the forum. It appears at the time of this posting their forum is down, but it's the right link :-)
