Quality control & 3D inspection
3D scanning enables a fast and complete dimensional check of produced parts. A colour-coded deviation report against the CAD reference immediately reveals where tolerances are exceeded — far more complete than callipers or single-point CMM measurements.
First-article inspection and production control
For a new production run, scan the first article and compare the mesh to the CAD file. Software such as Geomagic Control X or GOM Inspect produces PDF reports with a colour map, GD&T annotations and pass/fail criteria. Ideal for ISO 9001 audits and customer reporting.
Large parts without losing accuracy
The EinScan Libre is metrology-grade and uses photogrammetry for volumetric accuracy down to 0.02 mm + 0.015 mm/m. Perfect for sheet-metal work, chassis parts, injection moulds and large welded assemblies.
Reduce scrap and rework
Scanning early in the production process reveals tool wear, welding distortion or casting deviations before they multiply. This translates directly into lower cost and better on-time delivery.
