Precision Engineering Metrology

Sub-micron measurement for high-tolerance components

Independent metrology support for UK precision engineering businesses working to demanding tolerances across tooling, hydraulics, optics and instrumentation.

Challenges

What we hear from precision engineering teams

Common measurement and inspection pressures we help precision engineering businesses solve.

Sub-micron features

Tolerances that push conventional CMM and gauging to the edge of capability.

Uncertainty budgets

Real-world uncertainty often larger than customers realise.

Mixed-technology parts

Prismatic, freeform and micro features on a single component.

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-first design

We start from the tolerance, then choose the technology - not the other way round.

Environment and fixturing

Temperature, vibration and clamping addressed alongside the machine choice.

Best-in-class partner network

Access to specialist CMM, optical and surface metrology suppliers.

Technologies

Outcomes

What good looks like

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

  • Realistic uncertainty for critical features
  • Right-sized investment in precision equipment
  • Better first-time-right inspection results
FAQs

Precision Engineering metrology questions

Can you help decide between tactile and optical CMMs?

Yes. Impartial comparison against your part families, features and uncertainty targets is exactly what we do.
