Dimensional inspection and industrial quality

3D measurement, scanning, testing and dimensional reports: every part verified and documented before it ships.

Measurement and testing techniques

We measure with our own equipment, from a calliper to a CMM, and choose the technique according to the part, the tolerance and the size. Everything we produce through CNC machining or sheet metal and structures leaves here verified, and if there is no drawing we start from the part itself with reverse engineering.

Three-dimensional contact inspection, with geometric tolerances to ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101, ballooned drawings and comparison with the CAD model.

CMM probe measuring a bore in a stainless steel part

We scan the part and compare it with the CAD model in a colour deviation map. Also used for reverse engineering, with export to STEP/IGES.

Industrial part with reference targets fitted for 3D laser scanning

Non-contact measurement with a CNC vision system, for contours and small features that cannot be probed.

Callipers, micrometers, gauges and dial indicators, with traceable standards.

Manual check of the radius on a machined shaft with a radius gauge

Hardness checks with a portable hardness tester, directly on the steel part.

Every part is measured before it ships

From calliper to CMM and 3D scanner, with a dimensional report and traceability.

From your drawing to the dimensional report

This is how we verify a part, in three steps.

Drawing and inspection plan

We start from your drawing: we mark the critical dimensions and tolerances and decide which equipment to measure each one with.

Calibrated, traceable equipment

We measure with calibrated equipment and traceable standards, so the results can be checked.

Measurement and dimensional report

We measure, compare against the drawing or CAD model and deliver a report with the measured dimensions.

What you receive with every inspection

A dimensional report with the measured dimensions against the drawing or CAD model and, when we scan, a colour deviation map. If you need it, first article inspection (FAI) or PPAP documentation, and EN 10204 3.1 material certificates with heat number.

We dimension and inspect to ISO 1101 and ASME Y14.5. We work for a range of industrial sectors. To request a dimensional report, an FAI or an inspection, send your drawing through the quote request form (in Spanish).

Frequently asked questions

CMM, 3D laser scanning, optical measurement with a vision system, manual measurement with traceable standards, portable measuring arm and laser tracker, plus hardness testing and non-destructive testing. We choose the technique according to the part, the tolerance and the size.

A dimensional report with the measured dimensions against the drawing or the CAD model. If you need it, also FAI or PPAP documentation, and EN 10204 3.1 material certificates with heat number.

Yes. We 3D scan the part and compare it with the CAD model in a colour deviation map. If there is no model, we rebuild it through reverse engineering.

We respond within 24 working hours of receiving your drawing or requirements, with a technical analysis of what you need.
