Approach
If a component doesn't fit, your production comes to a halt. We make sure dimensions, geometry, and tolerances are verified before they become a costly problem.
Confidence instead of guesswork for critical components.
Traceable inspection reports for your quality assurance.
Short-term capacity when your team is at full capacity.
Independent of machine manufacturers.
PROCESS
Three steps.
One reliable result.
Understand
01
A brief conversation with a metrology specialist – not a salesperson. We'll discuss your component, its tolerances, and what you really need in the end.
Measure
02
In our lab, on-site, or remotely with PC-DMIS. We choose the right method for your component – not simply the one that's available.
Deliver
03
Reliable results you can work with: traceable inspection reports, clean CAD models, or robust PC-DMIS programs.
SERVICES
Six Areas of Expertise.
Individually or in combination – we select the right solution for your component.
We digitize components without existing drawings, providing the foundation for design, manufacturing, and quality assurance.
-
02
From the physical component to a clean CAD model. Reproduce, improve, or recover lost design data.
03
Manufacturer-independent support when PC-DMIS causes problems – by phone, remotely, or directly at your CMM.
04
No in-house metrology or limited capacity? We inspect your production and individual components.
05
Large, heavy, or installed components – we bring the right metrology solution directly to your site.
06
Additional expertise for your quality team – from inspection planning to the signed inspection report.
01
CASE STUDY REVERSE ENGINEERING
From a damaged
component to
a replacement part.
VW 1.9 TDI transmission cover: no drawing, no CAD model, and no replacement part available. From the original component to a machined replacement in four steps.
01 · Original
Damaged 1.9 TDI transmission cover – original component with no design data available.
02 · 3D-Scan
Complete digitization as an STL mesh, including the original casting characteristics.
03 · Reverse Engineering
Clean, parametric CAD model (NURBS) generated from the scan.
04 · Replacement Part
CNC-machined aluminum replacement part, machined from solid stock – precision-fit and ready for immediate use.

ANALYSIS
This is what the result looks like.
Real inspection results from PC-DMIS and tactile as well as optical metrology – excerpts from ongoing projects. Full inspection reports are available upon request.
Laser Scan · Surface Deviation Analysis
Body Structure Member
Freeform scan with an Absolute Arm, color-coded CAD deviation analysis, and multiple circle position evaluations performed in PC-DMIS.
Tactile - Auto-Feature
Hole Measurement
Classic tactile inspection of circular features on a cast structural component – measured directly against the CAD model.
Form Analysis · Tool Geometry
Tool-Form
Surface deviation analysis of a tool. 96.7% of the surface is within ±1 mm – fully traceable and documented.
Point Cloud · Analysis
Positive Material Deviation
Local deviations identified at a glance – providing a reliable basis for rework or approval.
Form Analysis · Sheet Metal
Body Rail
Compact 3D inspection report with all nominal and actual values displayed directly on the CAD model – ready for immediate use in quality assurance.
