3D Metrology

What is 3D Metrology?

At Applus+ Laboratories, we offer industry-leading 3D metrology services to ensure the quality, precision, and efficiency of your products. Whether you need quality control, design validation, reverse engineering, or detailed inspection, our advanced metrology technologies and expertise help our clients achieve outstanding results.

We serve a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and civil engineering, offering tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.

Dimensional Metrology Services

We ensure that all components comply with industrial standards through precise measurements and validation, guaranteeing high accuracy, reduced production errors, and tailored solutions adapted to the requirements of your industry.

• Metrology Laboratory: Part measurements (with or without CAD), capability studies, special measurements, and technical consultancy.
• Tooling Measurement and Maintenance: Calibration and certification of tooling to ensure production quality
• Software and Training: Solutions with Polyworks, Metrolog, PC-DMIS, and geometric tolerances.
• Advanced Equipment: We use CMMs, 3D scanners, laser trackers, and advanced vision systems from leading brands in the market, including Renishaw, Faro, Leica, Zeiss, Gom, Mitutoyo, etc.

3D Scanning Services

Our 3D scanning services allow us to create precise digital replicas of physical components, ensuring accuracy in every detail and enabling seamless integration into your design and production workflows.

• Reverse Engineering: We reconstruct parts that lack CAD designs, making it ideal for obsolete or outdated components, delivering 3D files in STEP or IGES formats.
• High Precision: We achieve measurement accuracy of up to 0.02 mm over 5 meters, ensuring products meet strict specifications.
• Cost and Time Efficiency: Our fast and non-invasive scanning process reduces inspection time and costs.
• Flexibility: Adaptable to different sizes and materials, improving efficiency and reducing errors in production.

Large Volume Scanning Services

We specialise in scanning large surfaces and structures for civil engineering, mining, and heritage preservation projects, ensuring high precision and compliance with standards. Our services help reduce production errors and offer tailored solutions adapted to the needs of your industry.

• BIM Support: Our scanning provides detailed data for Building Information Modeling (BIM), facilitating structural calculations.
• Volumetric Calculations: We offer precise volumetric calculations (±1 mm) for stockpile management and material assessment.
• Heritage Preservation: Our non-contact scanning methods are ideal for preserving historical structures, ensuring detailed documentation without interference.
