THE METROLOGY CHALLENGE

When structures span metres instead of millimetres, conventional measurement systems reach their limits.

Large scale 3D scanning for heavy engineering and industrial parts requires a fundamentally different approach to coordinate metrology.

With FARO Vantage Laser Tracker technology, APJ 3D breaks the boundaries of volume restrictions, bringing absolute precision to your largest structural assemblies.

CASE STUDY #001

Jet Engine Casing
Multi-Stage Alignment

APJ 3D was contracted to perform highly critical alignment of a commercial jet engine casing assembly. The requirement mandated positional accuracy within 0.050mm over a 4-metre volumetric space.

01
The Challenge
Stack-up tolerances in 5 separate casing rings caused internal blade clearance issues that conventional tools could not resolve.
02
The Solution
Using FARO Vantage, we established a master datum network, mapping all dowel holes and mating flanges in a single coordinate frame.
03
The Outcome
Final assembly achieved 0.015mm average deviation — 70% better than the specified tolerance. Zero rework required.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a First Article Inspection Report (FAIR)?
A FAIR includes a ballooned engineering drawing matching every dimension to an itemized inspection table, raw actual values, upper/lower tolerances, out-of-spec flags, and tool calibration certificates per AS9102 or customer templates.

Can you inspect parts according to PPAP Level 3 requirements?
Yes. We generate full dimensional results, Gage R&R studies, process capability studies (Cp/Cpk), material test reports, and Part Submission Warrants (PSW) for automotive Tier-1 supplier audits.

Do you provide on-site inspection for large tooling and weld fixtures?
Yes. Our metrology team deploys portable articulated arms and laser trackers directly to your manufacturing plant for on-site jig alignment, weldment inspection, and stamping die verification.

How do you establish datum reference frames for GD&T inspection?
We align physical components using primary, secondary, and tertiary datum features (planes, cylinders, holes) as specified on engineering drawings per ASME Y14.5M, eliminating alignment ambiguity.

What turnaround time can we expect for batch inspection?
Standard First Article inspections deliver in 24 to 48 hours. Ongoing production batch inspections can be scheduled with dedicated capacity and automated CMM routines.
