Metal 3D printing is a game-changer for the aerospace industry, manufacturing parts for airplanes, rockets, and satellites. Leading the way is MIMO Technik, a company based in Carson, California, focused on advanced additive manufacturing, mainly metal printing. This company, led by Jonathan Cohen, is disrupting the industry by servicing some of the most progressive companies on the planet. However, this also presents an additional challenge: these companies are among the most demanding in terms of quality.

ATI is a global manufacturer of technically advanced specialty materials and complex components. Their products support diverse markets and industries, including defense and aerospace, oil and gas, electrical energy, medical, automotive, and other industrial markets.

Sierra Alloys is a world-class manufacturer of flat bars and narrow plates of titanium and special alloys, offering a comprehensive line of products and services that are delivered efficiently and cost-effectively. Open-die forging companies have been relegated to legacy measurement tools like handheld micrometers, calipers, and measuring tapes. Many open-die forged parts are large and heavy, and there is currently no “off-the-shelf” inspection tool available to improve measurement accuracy or repeatability.

Royal Technologies is more than an injection molding company, they are a problem-solving company. Facing unique challenges with all kind of parts and production volumes. Traditional measurement methods are slow and prone to errors. Being able to respond in time and with the right quality is a must, and those two things can be opposing forces in today’s manufacturing environments.
