Dimensional inspection (also known as: metrology services, validation, verification, product evaluation, contract inspection, and layout inspection) is performed to compare the actual condition of a manufactured part or component to that defined by engineering drawings and blueprints, metal or film templates (decreasingly), digital files and 3D CAD models (increasingly), or even a master tool or part.

There are many ways to establish product definition or to define design, and even more ways to measure and inspect the actual product manufactured. That’s why IIA has amassed an impressive array of state-of-the-art measuring instruments, equipment and technology.

These technologies, coupled with our team of highly skilled, trained, and experienced professionals, allow us to provide high-quality, yet cost-effective, service that is unmatched in the industry.
