NM3D Ibérica presents Viriato, a humanoid robot that represents a new generation of technological solutions focused on industrial metrology, automation, dimensional control, and Industry 4.0.
More than just a robot for technological demonstrations, Viriato symbolizes a new way of thinking about dimensional inspection: more automated, more repeatable, more traceable processes that are better integrated with high-precision measurement technologies.
In the context of 360 Tech Industry 2026, at EXPONOR, NM3D Ibérica demonstrates how humanoid robotics can play a differentiating role for companies seeking to modernize their quality processes, inspection routines, dimensional validation, and production control.
From Humanoid Robotics to Automated Dimensional Control
In many industrial companies, dimensional control still depends on manual processes, the availability of specialized technicians, waiting times, and repetitive operations that consume critical resources.
Viriato was created to help transform that reality.
Integrated into an industrial metrology ecosystem, the humanoid robot can support inspection and dimensional control processes through integration with technologies such as:
- 3D scanners
- Optical measurement systems
- CMM
- Industrial tomography
- Dimensional inspection software
- Automation systems
- Databases, reporting systems, and quality traceability platforms
The goal is not to replace human expertise.
The goal is to enhance it.
Viriato can support repetitive tasks, interact with measurement equipment, assist in inspection routines, communicate results, support part classification, and facilitate the connection between people, machines, and dimensional control systems.
A Solution for Companies That Need to Measure Better, Faster, and with Greater Traceability
In sectors such as automotive, aerospace, molds, machining, foundry, additive manufacturing, precision engineering, or serial production, every part matters.
A small dimensional variation can lead to rejections, rework, production downtime, assembly problems, or customer complaints.
That is why NM3D Ibérica proposes a solution where Viriato can become part of an intelligent dimensional control cell capable of supporting tasks such as:
- Identification of parts, references, or batches
- Activation of predefined measurement routines
- Interaction with metrology equipment
- Support for 3D scanning
- Coordination of inspections using 3D scanners, CMM, or tomography
- Part-to-CAD comparison
- Classification of results as OK, NOK, or review required
- Support in generating quality reports
- Reinforcement of process traceability
- Reduction of manual intervention in repetitive tasks
- Faster decision-making in production and quality control
The result is a more controlled, more efficient, more visual process that is better prepared for the current demands of industry.
What Advantages Can Viriato Bring to Your Company?
The integration of a humanoid robot into industrial metrology processes should not be seen merely as a branding action or visual innovation.
It should be seen as a tool for creating real value in production, metrology laboratories, and quality control.
Among the main advantages are:
Greater Automation of Dimensional Control
Companies can reduce repetitive manual tasks and move toward more autonomous, consistent, and integrated inspection processes.
More Repeatability and Less Variability
Automation helps standardize routines, reduce human error, and ensure that every part is evaluated according to predefined criteria.
Integration with Advanced Measurement Technologies
Viriato can be integrated with 3D scanners, CMMs, industrial tomography, inspection software, quality systems, and industrial data platforms.
Improved Traceability
Every measurement, result, batch, reference, or decision can be linked to concrete data, making audits, reporting, statistical analysis, and process control easier.
Faster Response to Deviations
When a part is out of tolerance, the system can help identify the issue earlier, preventing defects from progressing through the production chain.
Freeing Specialized Technical Resources
Metrologists and quality technicians can focus on analysis, validation, programming, interpretation of results, and continuous improvement instead of repetitive low-value-added tasks.
Technological Differentiation Before Clients and Partners
For companies that receive customers, auditors, technical teams, or industrial partners, a solution like Viriato conveys innovation, technological capability, and a vision for the future.
A New Way to Communicate Quality
Industrial metrology is not just about measuring.
It is about generating confidence.
Confidence in the part. Confidence in the process. Confidence in the data. Confidence in delivery to the customer.
Viriato makes dimensional control more accessible, more visual, and easier to communicate. It can support technical demonstrations, present results, interact with visitors, and transform dimensional inspection into a clear, differentiated, and memorable technological experience.
This is especially relevant for companies that want to show customers that they do not simply produce parts: they control, validate, and guarantee quality with advanced technology.
Possible Industrial Applications
The solution can be adapted to different needs, such as:
- Dimensional control of production parts
- First article inspection
- Prototype validation
- Part-to-CAD comparison
- Deformation control
- OK/NOK classification
- Support for rework processes
- 3D scanning for reverse engineering
- Control of critical parts
- Automated inspection in laboratories or on the shop floor
- Support for audits, technical visits, and industrial demonstrations
Each project can be configured according to the type of part, tolerances, production volume, available measurement technology, and desired level of automation.
NM3D Ibérica: Metrology, Additive Manufacturing, and Robotics Serving Industry
NM3D Ibérica works at the intersection of industrial metrology, additive manufacturing, 3D scanning, automation, and robotics.
With Viriato, the company reinforces its vision: to develop solutions capable of transforming real industrial processes by combining advanced technology, technical expertise, integration, and customer support.
Humanoid robotics applied to dimensional control opens a new opportunity for companies that want to evolve from manual processes to more intelligent, connected, and automated environments.
The Challenge to Companies
The question is no longer whether industry will automate more inspection and quality processes.
The real question is:
Does your company want to continue measuring the way it always has, or does it want to start building the future of dimensional control?
NM3D Ibérica launches this challenge to industrial companies:
Bring us a part. Bring us a process. Bring us a measurement, inspection, repeatability, traceability, or production capacity challenge.
NM3D Ibérica will work with you to study how to integrate humanoid robotics, advanced metrology, and automation in order to transform that challenge into a real solution.
Because Viriato is not just a robot.
It is a new way to showcase, automate, and enhance dimensional control in industry.
