3D metrology for safety-critical applications

High-Precision 3D metrology for Defense, Aviation, and Safety-Critical Industries

Accurate measurement data for confident decisions

When components must function reliably in safety-critical applications, robust measurement data is an essential foundation for development, manufacturing, and quality assurance.

PROTOS-3D Supports manufacturers, system integrators, and suppliers with industrial 3D metrology —from testing individual components to automated mass production measurement.

Our measurement solutions are used, among other things, for components in the defense and aerospace industries, as well as in other demanding industrial sectors.

Precision for components that matter

We provide support for the geometric inspection of a wide variety of components and assemblies, such as:

Drones and UAV/UGV Components

Structural Components for Aviation Systems

Components for Armored Vehicles

Precision Mechanical Components and Assemblies

Housings and Protective Components

Sensor and Electronics Enclosures

Prototypes and pre-production parts

Replacement and Special Parts

Our measurement technology can support the entire product life cycle:

Development → Prototype → Manufacturing → Mass Production → Quality Certification

Typical Measurement Tasks

CAD Target-Actual Comparison

Geometric comparison of actual components with CAD data and defined target geometries.

initial sample inspection

Testing of new or modified components prior to their release for further stages of production.

Quality Control During Production

Reproducible inspection of manufacturing processes and mass-produced components.

Reverse Engineering

Digital documentation of existing components as a basis for reconstruction and further development.

Tolerance and Deviation Analysis

Targeted evaluation of geometric deviations and functionally relevant characteristics.

Documentation and Test Reports

Traceable measurement results for internal quality assurance, customer approvals, and technical documentation.

From individual parts to mass production measurement

3D metrology s Scalable for Different Production Volumes

Not every measurement task ends with a single test. Depending on the project, we support both prototypes and small production runs as well as recurring testing tasks involving larger quantities.

In this process, measurement procedures can be standardized and automated step by step.

Automated Serial Measurement

For recurring inspections, automated measurement processes enable:

  • reproducible test procedures
  • consistent measurement conditions
  • automated analysis
  • digital documentation
  • Integration into existing production and quality processes

This makes industrial 3D metrology an efficient solution even for larger quantities.

Mobile 3D metrology right at your location

Measuring where the components are manufactured

Large components, complex systems, or ongoing production processes cannot always be transported in a practical manner.

Using mobile measurement solutions, we conduct tests directly at the customer's site—for example, in manufacturing, assembly, or development.

Among other things, this offers advantages in:

  • large or bulky components
  • production-related tests
  • Short-term variance analyses
  • Production Runs
  • Measurements taken directly at the installation or manufacturing site
