A robust metrological approach will maintain efficiency and minimize errors in your production cycle. Two factors will help to achieve this: selecting the correct equipment and securing the expert personnel to operate the equipment. Your metrology equipment needs to be quick, accurate, and reliable; the operator of this equipment needs to be qualified to collect and interpret the data. After all, without the right metrology equipment and trained operators, it can be challenging to maintain high production standards and streamline efficiency.
At CMMXYZ, we provide professional CMM measurement services on-site and off-site for clients across North America. For more than 30 years, our certified metrological technicians have helped manufacturers accurately measure complex geometric objects, conduct inspections, acquire data, and execute advanced reverse engineering.
We offer a diverse range of measurement services and scanning equipment to ensure production floors can maintain efficiency. We provide customized coordinate measuring machine support to our clients across industries backed by a team of industry leaders and accreditations.
About Contract Measurement Service Providers
Contract measurement service providers carry out measuring and scanning solutions with a combination of speed, efficiency, and reliability. Using industry-leading technology and software, trained technicians can identify the optimal measuring method for any geometric object.

We utilize a variety of measuring equipment and a team of trained metrology personnel to identify your measurement or troubleshooting needs. With our detailed inspections, you will be able to focus on streamlining your production line.
Precision Laser Alignment
We use advanced lasers to accurately align your equipment, resulting in rapid measurements, accurately documented data, and reduced machine downtime and repair costs. To establish floor plans and grid line layouts, we use our laser alignment services.
3D Scanning
Our 3D scanning services combine accuracy, efficiency and rapid data acquisition for a complete profile of your part.
We’ll perform a scan of your part, which involves picking up features to create a 3D scan (raw point cloud) and using that 3D scan to measure features. This process is also the first step in Reverse Engineering.
Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering involves creating a 3D virtual model from an existing object to use in computer-assisted design, manufacturing, engineering, or additional software. Our certified reverse engineering services are used to analyze a product’s overall functionality, scanning our part, and converting the raw point cloud data into your selected CAD file format. This CAD file would have all the surfaces, splines, and edges present, and the file will easily import into your CAD software.
Tooling Verification
We can verify your tool in two ways. We can verify the parts that are produced from your tool by measuring a sample of your production and reporting the various production standard statistical values. We can also verify the tool itself by measuring areas of interest and using GD&T to report on the deviation of the die compared to nominal CAD.
Customized Solutions
Our customized measurement solutions are as unique as our customers. If your processes are falling behind with an unknown root cause, our certified metrologists will work with you to create a measurement solution that is customized to your needs.
Training
In order for a CMM to accurately measure the geometry of an object, it must be operated by a trained metrologist who is proficient in various software, programs, and can effectively utilize a CMM’s complex features. We provide a spectrum of in-class, remote, and virtual CMM training services to suit varying skill levels and learning preferences.
