Metrology and dimensional inspection

We verify critical dimensions, tolerances and fit of printed or machined parts. The scope is defined based on the drawing, the nominal CAD, the end use and the client's acceptance criteria.

CAD ↔ part

Comparison between nominal geometry and measured data to pinpoint deviations.

GD&T

Review of geometric tolerances when the drawing and measurement method allow.

QC report

Documented results with evidence and observations relevant to the decision.

Service scope

Capabilities, applications and deliverables

We define the technical workflow based on the geometry, the functional requirements and the level of validation the project needs.

Inspection

Dimensional scope

  • Comparison against CAD using deviation maps and inspection sections.
  • Review of critical dimensions and tolerances defined on the drawing.
  • STEP, IGES or STL used as the nominal reference as appropriate.
  • Lot sampling and acceptance criteria agreed before measuring.

Quality

Applications and deliverables

  • Validation of first articles, prototypes and short runs.
  • Inspection of components received from suppliers.
  • Deviation report with evidence and recommendations.
  • Feedback for design adjustments, reprinting or rework when requested.

Applications

Where it adds value

The final setup is tailored to the industry, the part's use and the project's acceptance criteria.

First article

Initial release

Check critical dimensions before proceeding with the rest of the batch.

Supplier

Incoming inspection

Verify external components against the agreed criteria.

Development

Design feedback

Use deviations to correct geometry, process or build orientation.

Process

A controlled workflow from start to finish

Each stage produces verifiable information to reduce rework and keep technical decisions traceable.

  1. 01

    Define nominal

    We review the CAD, drawing, tolerances, sample and acceptance criteria.

  2. 02

    Measure

    We capture dimensions or surfaces using the method suited to the scope.

  3. 03

    Compare

    We analyze deviations, trends and out-of-spec points.

  4. 04

    Report

    We deliver results, evidence and observations for the quality decision.
