A new technology for measuring diamond proportions?

I read a week ago that Sarin Technologies has already started to manufacture its new equipment, called DiaMension HD, which somehow provides precise 3D modeling of diamonds, achieving exact measurement of diamond proportions and symmetry. The DiaMension HD could be implemented on both polished and semi polished diamonds. Along with examining brilliant cut diamonds' proportions a diamond with only 8 initial cut can already be modeled, which makes it a good tool for diamond cutters which can check a diamond's proportions within the polishing process, allowing them to achieve the desired ideal-cut result. Gemologist, wholesalers and traders will obviously also enjoy this new equipment, examining symmetry, facet alignment, facets' junctures and every cut parameter which equals diamond quality.

How does it work? From what I understood a digital camera of very high resolution is used, with special lighting that enables the camera to scan a diamond completely. The DiaMension HD is used along with proper software. Such software generates impressive visual images of the tested diamond. Sarin Technologies try to introduce the DiaMension HD as a great leap from the days in which diamond cutters only used microscopes to a modern age of digital diamond modeling. Obviously they are exaggerating, several tools for examining diamond symmetry were developed in the past several years, but the new DiaMension HD could in fact become a step forward in the diamond modeling evolution.
