Automated Precision Inc.
API METROLOGY SERVICES can help with every step in the manufacturing process. We can scan a prototype part to create a model for mass production, inspect the first pieces off the production line to ensure accuracy, do spot checks throughout the manufacturing process to maintain repeatability, reverse engineer old parts to return them to production, and calibrate machine tools to check for inaccuracies and help compensate for their errors.
