High-Precision 3D Coordinate Measurement (CMM)
3D coordinate measuring machines (CMM) are essential for ensuring quality and precision in the industry. In our laboratories, LK measuring machines excel in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and mechanical. Thanks to their ceramic construction, these CMMs deliver extremely precise and stable measurements while meeting strict geometric tolerances and standards. They incorporate various technologies:
Point-to-Point Contact
We use point-to-point contact measurement probes, ideal for GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) evaluations. This technology, recognized for its high accuracy and repeatability, ensures that each component meets the required specifications.
Continuous Contact
Las sondas de contacto continuo capturan cientos de puntos por segundo, ofreciendo una visión detallada de la superficie inspeccionada. Esto permite detectar variaciones mínimas y realizar evaluaciones precisas, optimizando los procesos de fabricación y asegurando la calidad en cada etapa.
Laser Scanning
Laser scanning in CMM enables detailed analysis of deviations, facilitating quick decisions and the implementation of corrective measures. This technology captures large volumes of data in less time, reduces correction times and enables CAD-based off-line programming, without the need for the physical part. In addition, non-contact measurement ensures accuracy on any material, with no risk of deformation.
Portable 3D Scanning
We offer portable 3D scanning solutions that capture the geometry of parts and structures with high precision and speed, both at our facilities and on-site. These technologies are suitable for components of all sizes, facilitating data integration into digital models and optimizing production processes.

Computed Tomography (CT) Inspection
We utilize computed tomography (CT) inspection equipment and a team of specialists who provide detailed material analysis, thorough assembly inspections, rigorous quality control, and advanced X-ray metrology, delivering precise information on both the exterior and interior of each part.
Internal inspection with non-destructive testing (NDT)
Non-destructive testing allows internal part inspection without cutting or damaging the object. Using advanced X-ray and computed tomography (CT) technology from Nikon, we deliver precise, contact-free inspections — ideal for high-demand technical components.
Common applications:
- Detection of internal defects, cracks or porosity
- Verification of component placement
- Identification of hidden features
- Analysis of shrinkage and voids
Ensure quality without compromising your parts.
3D metrology with computed tomography
We offer high-precision measurement of internal and external geometries using advanced X-ray computed tomography systems. Our process ensures strict dimensional control and high repeatability — ideal for validating manufacturing processes.
Common applications:
- Measurement of internal channels and hidden cavities
- Wall thickness analysis
- Accuracy verification in 3D prints
- Comparison with the CAD model
Quality assurance with X-ray inspection
Our X-ray inspection services ensure that parts have been correctly manufactured, confirming they perform their function safely and reliably. This non-destructive technique is essential in industries where internal precision and structural integrity are critical.
Key applications include:
- In the aerospace sector, we inspect turbine blades and engine components to ensure internal integrity.
- In medical devices, we validate implantable mechanisms and surgical tools without disassembly.
- In automotive, we detect porosity or cracks in cast parts such as engine blocks or housings.
- In electronics, we verify hidden solder joints in PCBs with BGA or QFN components.
- In the energy sector, we analyze welds in pipelines and critical valves to prevent leaks or structural failure.
- In composites and laminates, we verify the correct fiber alignment and absence of internal voids, ensuring mechanical strength.
With this technology, we meet the most demanding standards — without damaging the inspected parts.
Reverse engineering
3D scanning using computed tomography (CT) captures all the geometric details of a part with high precision — even in internal, hidden or hard-to-reach areas. It is a key tool in reverse engineering, enabling the creation of accurate and complete CAD models from physical samples without disassembly or surface contact.
Typical applications:
- Scanning of technical parts with internal cavities or hidden features
- Inspection of transparent or semi-translucent components (plastics, resins, etc.)
- Generation of high-precision CAD models from very small or detailed parts
- Reconstruction of broken or deformed parts for reproduction or redesign
- Development of custom tooling or adaptation to existing components
Thanks to this technology, it's possible to recover designs without drawings, optimize existing solutions, and accelerate innovation in sectors like medical devices, microelectronics, automotive, and composite materials.
Failure analysis
Disassembling a faulty product may destroy key evidence needed to identify the root cause. With 3D scanning via computed tomography (CT), it’s possible to examine the internal structure of a component without damaging it, enabling faster and more accurate failure analysis.
Typical applications:
- Detection of breaks in wires or internal connections
- Identification of melted or damaged components
- Generation of internal views for technical investigations or legal evidence
- Detection of structural cracks or microfractures
- Verification of missing, misaligned or incorrect assemblies
This technology speeds up diagnostics, improves reliability, and supports informed decision-making.
