3D Metrology Services Group at EDM Intelligent Solutions
INDUSTRIAL 3D DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY AND INSPECTION COMPANY
Specialized 3D Metrology Services
The metrology group at EDM Intelligent Solutions (EDMIS) provides in-depth, non-contact 3D dimensional metrology and dimensional inspection services for parts of almost any shape and size. 3D measurement of form, surface roughness and comparison to nominal CAD models allow us to provide our clients with advanced GD&T inspection services and enhanced 3D roughness parameters for even the most complex components. Our dimensional measurement laboratory and surface roughness testing lab offer both contract and outsource metrology and measurement services.
High resolution 3D scans of piece parts allow for form measurement down to the µm scale. Profiles are cut across the 3D part scan data set and those included points are used to gather various form measurements including radii, angles, slot width, height step, etc.…
3D scans of the piece part containing millions of data points are compared to ideal CAD models to verify dimensional accuracy of the entire part, or a specific feature.
Non-contact, high-resolution profile and area-based roughness measurement of surfaces down to 1.2 µinches. Our 3D inspection technology is capable of measuring the surface roughness of almost any material, including metals, ceramics, and plastics.
3D Metrology is the scientific study of physical measurements. In manufacturing, it focuses on precision measurement of tools, fixtures and machined components by capturing geometric surface points across three axes (x, y, z). This approach provides far more data than conventional methods. While often performed with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), new automated optical inspection (AOI) technologies now enable advanced 3D metrology techniques that no longer rely solely on CMMs.
3D metrology becomes part of a manufacturing project from the earliest design stages, beginning with the question: “How do we measure this feature?” Accurate measurement guides manufacturability and confirms that produced parts meet the original intent. EDM Intelligent Solutions helps answer this question by capturing dimensional data related to form, size and surface roughness. These insights empower engineering teams to improve processes, reduce waste and enhance part quality.
