All BlueSwarf data collection tap-testing kits in the field are no longer functional, that is, they cannot produce Dashboards. BlueSwarf cannot produce Dashboards.
There are about a hundred BlueSwarf kits in the field, but the software is now obsolete and unsupported. If you run across one in the field, ask them to generate a Dashboard. They can't.
BlueSwarf was the company founded by the inventors of MSC MillMax; Dr. Tom Delio, Dr. Scott Smith and Dave Barton. They are no longer affiliated with BlueSwarf and own all of the Intellectual Properties and Inventions previously sold under the BlueSwarf name, despite their names still appearing on the un-maintained blueswarf.com website.

The BlueSwarf office in State College closed in 2018 and is now a nail salon.
BlueSwarf exists as a holding company for intellectual property for a single product line of carbide endmill assemblies designed originally for Okuma at IMTS 2016, called the "Smart Tool". MSC HAS JUST SIGNED AN EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH BLUESWARF'S CURRENT OWNERS TO LICENSE AND SELL THE SMART TOOL THROUGH ACCUPRO.
The rights include the use of the trademark, so essentially "BlueSwarf" is now owned by MSC.
