Probes and styli are vital for smart manufacturing, evolving into advanced sensors that enhance automation and quality control. These precise tools measure parts, guide machines, and enable real-time adjustments, improving efficiency and reducing defects in CNC and robotic applications.

Ametek, Inc. announced the acquisition of Virtek Vision International, a leading provider of advanced laser-based projection and inspection systems.

The aerospace industry relies on advanced nondestructive testing (NDT) to ensure safety and reliability. Automated technologies, such as phased arrays and 3D scanning, enhance defect detection in aircraft structures, reducing human error. This overview emphasizes the importance of these advancements.

The use of advanced 3D scanning tools is revolutionizing quality control, design, and manufacturing, particularly with the adoption of digital standards and 3D printing. However, this shift presents challenges in maintaining consistent standards globally and across different regulations.

Today, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations are a significant sub-industry within manufacturing, valued at $656 billion and projected to exceed $800 billion by 2032. MRO involves maintaining machinery, equipment, and systems in optimal condition through repairs and overhauls to extend their operational life.

The NimbleTrack wireless 3D scanning system is highly compact and agile, which is designed to redefine the precise 3D measurements of small-to-medium-sized parts.

Mechanical machinery requires regular maintenance to minimize downtime. Despite strict maintenance, failures can occur, requiring prompt intervention. In some cases, reverse engineering may be necessary to restore smooth functioning, especially if spare parts are unavailable.

Verisurf Software, Inc. and Scantech Digital, Inc. have entered a metrology solutions agreement.

Manufacturing for military readiness not only involves the initial production of arms, equipment, and technology but also the ongoing replacement and repair of degraded, outdated, or lost items, necessitating the use of the latest technology to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

With the most accurate BLACK Series yet, made possible through a new certification and the addition of key features, as well as a complete redesign of the SILVER Series, Creaform fulfills the evolving needs of metrology professionals and designers looking to improve their quality control and product development processes.
