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 Services Group at EDM Intelligent Solutions
INDUSTRIAL 3D DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY AND INSPECTION COMPANY
Specialized 3D Metrology Services
Our dimensional metrology lab provides in-depth, non-contact 3D dimensional metrology and metrology 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 outsourced metrology and measurement services.
High-Resolution Non-Contact Industrial 3D Metrology Services
Our contract inspection and contract measurement services include the following:
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.

About 3D Metrology
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.
3D Metrology Services FAQs
Here are some quick answers to common questions we receive about our 3D metrology services:
The turnaround time for a 3D metrology project will depend on part complexity and data resolution. However, our team will optimize resources to complete projects as swiftly as possible. With systematic tracking and expert resource management, we can deliver fast and accurate measurements, giving you a realistic timeline during the project proposal phase.
Part complexity and data resolution directly affect the turnaround time of your project. Intricate geometries, ultra-tight tolerances or demands for sub-micron level detail require more extensive scanning and processing. However, our non-contact 3D metrology methods and experience make us adept at handling these challenges as efficiently as possible. We can ensure high-quality results without compromising speed.
After your 3D metrology service, you will receive comprehensive reports. These often include a detailed 3D measurement data of form, surface roughness and precise comparisons to nominal CAD models. We’ll provide advanced GD&T inspection reports and enhanced 3D roughness parameters. You’ll receive these in industry-standard data formats so you can easily integrate them into your existing quality control or CAD/CAM systems.
The data formats we provide are compatible with most standard quality control and CAD/CAM platforms, making integration easy. Our experts will guide you through the process, ensuring the insights you gain from our services can help improve your processes, reduce waste and verify product designs against original intent.
Our non-contact 3D metrology services are versatile, and great for various types of materials, part sizes and feature accessibility challenges, including metals, ceramics and plastics. For more challenging cases, like complex internal features or unique material properties, we can recommend or use specialized measurement methods. We can also collaborate with our machining group for more comprehensive solutions.
