DECISION GUIDE · INDUSTRIAL METROLOGY

Industrial metrology alternatives: compare technologies and suppliers

If you are comparing ZEISS, HEXAGON, SARIKI, S4METRO, Mais Metrologia, Micronsense, Luzo 3D, Teciman, Vector0, Kronoss Metrologia, S3D or Isoinspeqt, start with the application, required uncertainty, environment and local support.

The right technology depends on what you need to measure

There is no universal solution. These are the main routes available from NM3D Ibérica.

CMM / MMC

Traceable, repeatable and automatable dimensional measurement in the lab or on the shop floor.

View bridge CMMs

Scanner 3D

Fast digitisation of surfaces, large parts, tooling and complex geometries.

View 3D scanning

Laser Tracker

Large-volume alignment, assembly and inspection for aerospace, energy and heavy industry.

View Laser Trackers

CT / RX

Non-destructive inspection of the inside and outside of components and assemblies.

View industrial CT

Software

Programming, dimensional analysis and connection of results with quality and production.

View CMM software

Retrofit

Control, software and sensor upgrades to extend a CMM's useful life.

What to compare before deciding

  1. Required tolerances, uncertainty and repeatability.
  2. Part dimensions, material, finish and accessibility.
  3. Laboratory, production line or field measurement.
  4. Cycle time, automation and data integration.
  5. Calibration, maintenance, training and local response.
  6. Total lifetime cost, not only the initial price.

Frequently asked questions

Is NM3D an alternative to ZEISS or HEXAGON?

NM3D helps compare the complete application: CMM, sensors, software, automation, installation and support. The right solution depends on the part, tolerance, environment and productivity.

Can I compare a proposal from another supplier?

Yes. Share the technical requirements, not unnecessary confidential information. NM3D can structure a comparison by capability, accuracy, service and total cost.

Does NM3D support Spain and Portugal?

Yes. The assessment can include installation, training, programming, maintenance and technical support for the Iberian market.

Which metrology, 3D scanning and CT brands can I compare?

You can compare alternatives for CMM and optical measurement such as Mitutoyo, Wenzel, Coord3, Aberlink and VICIVISION; 3D scanning such as Creaform, FARO and SHINING 3D; and industrial CT/X-ray such as Waygate Technologies, Comet Yxlon, diondo and RX Solutions. NM3D evaluates the application and technical requirements, not just the brand.
