CAD comparison
Compare CAD data with a 3D scan. How far does your component deviate from the original design?


Ensure the quality & accuracy of your parts before series production. With our first article inspection (FAI), we help you identify deviations from the nominal condition and minimise errors in series production.
Do you have a specific requirement?Tell us what you need – we will get back to you within 24 hours and advise you in detail on possible solutions and suitable methods.
0.005 mm measuring accuracy with our most precise devices.
Your cost per single scan as the basis for downstream processes
We offer fast communication & turnaround time.
From a few centimetres up to several metres.

You can see at a glance whether a part is within tolerance, where deviations occur and which areas are critical.
3D scanning, CAD comparison and colour-coded deviation maps make visible what often cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Our reports are structured so that design engineering and quality assurance as well as project management and customers can understand the results quickly.
The reports can serve as evidence for sample submissions, approvals, complaints, production launches or supplier documentation.
Measuring equipment, inspection methods, part data, tolerances, deviations and evaluation are documented thoroughly. This keeps the results verifiable and comparable later on.
A good inspection report builds trust. It does not just show measured values – it turns technical data into a clear, visual and professional evaluation.
In short: our inspection reports turn complex 3D scan data into an understandable, reliable and professionally documented basis for decisions on quality, approval and further technical steps.
From small businesses to enterprise manufacturers and universities:Hundreds of companies rely on us and our 3D scanning solutions
Send us your project and we will get back to you by phone or e-mail to discuss the details.
Based on your requirements we prepare a quote – and you can count on a fast turnaround.
We scan your object on site or in-house at our facility in St. Florian/Asten near Linz. You receive the raw 3D scan files, or we create a CAD file or further design drawings.
We also offer optional additional services – feel free to take a look at them below.
