Why
Metal Casting companies face productivity issues
How
Metrology grade 3D scanners accelerate the quality control process
Part complexity
Measuring complex shapes, sizes and finishes is increasingly common in metal casting
Highly flexible
3D scanning offers high versatility for metal casting, accurately measuring parts of any geometry, size, or finish (including shiny materials) without needing surface treatment
Slow to operate
Traditional measuring equipment, such as the coordinate measuring machine (CMM), is difficult to access and slow to operate
Improve speed
Metrology grade 3D Scanner enables the measurements of hundreds of parts per day while being fully portable
Limited working time
Metal Casting companies often operate with limited human resources and working time
Elevate Human Efficiency
Our metrology solutions add value in metal casting by freeing quality control engineers to focus on more complex and critical activities
Quality Control Solutions
Metrology-grade 3D scanners enhance productivity in metal casting companies by addressing three key factors.
-
Effortless Experience
Simplest and Most Intuitive 3D Scanning Solution
Our plug-and-play hardware and user-friendly software have made 3D scanning accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level. With features like smart resolution, automatic shutter, live meshing, and AI-driven surface reconstruction, we simplify the process and enhance the user experience, making workflows more efficient.
-
Precision & Accuracy
Highest Quality 3D Scan Data
Our high-resolution 3D scanning systems capture detailed data, improving defect detection and ensuring tight tolerance compliance. With ISO 27001 certification, we guarantee reliable, accredited accuracy. This means faster inspections, reduced errors, and higher quality parts for your metal casting processes.
-
Speed
Fastest Time to Usable Data / Reporting
Our 3D inspection software quickly aligns scans with CAD models in just three clicks (scan, align, colormap), providing ready-to-use data for fast reporting. Users get an instant, clear assessment of part quality.
