Manufacturers are combining industrial robots, 3D scanning technology and dimensional inspection software to measure components directly on the manufacturing floor. Understanding how to select the right measurement process, maintain accuracy and identify problems early remains essential.
The updated Innovative Measurement Solutions website organizes 3D scanning, dimensional inspection, laser tracker measurement, reverse engineering, industrial photogrammetry, and precision alignment services so engineering and manufacturing teams can identify the relevant capability and prepare a project inquiry.
Three closed U.S. nuclear plants are being prepared for restart. Learn how 3D laser scanning, dimensional inspection and precision alignment support nuclear facility modernization.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral on October 13, 2026, leaving a glowing jellyfish-shaped exhaust plume visible across Florida and the East Coast.
The NRC issued the first U.S. SMR construction permit in September 2026. Learn how 3D scanning, laser trackers and dimensional metrology support nuclear construction.
Check machining allowance, alignment and surface deviations before a casting reaches the machine. Learn what scan results tell you and what they leave unverified.
Japanese and South Korean shipbuilders are accelerating smart-yard programs, robotics, and digital production. As automation expands, dimensional control of physical structures remains essential. Here is where 3D metrology fits in modern shipbuilding.
The U.S. Air Force is testing autonomous 3D scanning and digital-twin systems for aircraft inspection at Warner Robins. Here is what the technology does, what it does not automatically do, and why the engineering question still determines the measurement requirement.
Calibration establishes an instrument's performance against a reference. It does not automatically make every measurement result accurate, traceable, or fit for a specific tolerance. Understanding the difference matters in manufacturing and dimensional inspection.
Tell IMS what needs to be measured, inspected, aligned, scanned, verified or reconstructed. The more IMS understands about the application, geometry, tolerance, location and required deliverable, the better the team can evaluate the project and recommend an appropriate measurement strategy.
