Aerospace Metrology

AS9100-grade measurement for airframe, engine and composite parts

Independent metrology consultancy for UK aerospace primes and tier suppliers - covering machined structures, composite assemblies, engine hardware and MRO inspection.

Challenges

What we hear from aerospace teams

Common measurement and inspection pressures we help aerospace businesses solve.

Tight tolerance, complex geometry

Turbine hardware, airframe structures and composites demand sub-thou capability at scale.

Traceability

Every measurement must be defensible against AS9100 and customer-specific audit trails.

Large parts, small features

Combining laser tracking with high-resolution scanning without losing uncertainty control.

Our approach

Independent, vendor-neutral and free to end users

We start with your parts, tolerances and commercial goals - then recommend the right route through our trusted UK partner network.

Uncertainty-led planning

Measurement strategies designed against declared uncertainty budgets, not just software readouts.

Multi-sensor integration

The right blend of CMM, tracker, arm and CT for the part family.

Audit-ready reporting

Reports and data flows structured for AS9100 and prime-supplier stage gates.

Technologies

Measurement technologies used in aerospace

Typical combinations we help clients evaluate, procure and deploy.

Large-volume CMMs
Laser trackers
Portable arms
Structured light scanning
CT for internal features

Outcomes

What good looks like

The commercial outcomes our clients see when measurement is done properly.

  • Reduce inspection cycle time on complex assemblies
  • Strengthen audit position with traceable measurement
  • Avoid over-specifying equipment on new work packages
FAQs

Aerospace metrology questions

Do you work with primes and tier suppliers?

Yes. We support programmes from Tier 3 machine shops through to tier 1 assemblies and prime-level engineering teams.

Can you support Nadcap-relevant inspection?

We help design measurement processes that align to Nadcap and AS9100 expectations, and connect you to accredited calibration partners.
