Metron's 3D Laser Scanner is used by leading manufacturers in complex global industries -- from Boeing, Vought, Hexcel and AMT in the aerospace industry, to Mahle in automotive and Los Alamos in defense. These customers use Metron's unique measurement capabilities to maintain or widen their lead in innovative design, advanced materials and process technology.
The following case studies provide an overview of the benefits customers receive from Metron's leading technology.
Aerospace First Article Inspection
Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. (AMT) has reduced the time required for parts verification by over 50%. AMT's new inspection process is based on the Metron 3D non-contact laser scanner, which quickly and accurately measures highly reflective materials that are common in aerospace manufacturing.

Volumetric Analysis of Automotive Pistons
To meet the inspection needs of a leading piston manufacturer Metron has developed a process for determining the volume of the combustion bowl in a piston head using data from Metron's 3D Laser Scanning System. This study shows a Metron system can provide a 90% reduction in inspection time and a ten-fold increase in accuracy over conventional techniques used in the automotive industry. (overview)
Reverse Engineering
The G2 is highly effective at producing the dense, clean data from complex machined parts that is required for the reverse engineering of a CAD-compatible surface. Metron can help get your quality program going with custom, reverse engineering services.
