Overview
At MetalCore Manufacturing, quality isn't an afterthought—it's engineered into every process. Our dedicated metrology department operates under ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines, ensuring every measurement meets the highest aerospace, medical, and industrial standards.
Whether you require First Article Inspection (FAIR), in-process verification, or final product validation, our team utilizes advanced Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), optical profilers, and 3D scanning technology to deliver comprehensive, data-driven quality reports.
★ All inspection equipment is calibrated annually against NIST-traceable standards, and our technicians hold certified credentials in GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and non-destructive testing.
Inspection Capabilities
Coordinate Measuring (CMM)
Bridge, cantilever, and horizontal arm CMMs with laser probes for complex geometries.
First Article Inspection (FAIR)
Complete AS9102-compliant documentation verifying dimensional conformity for new programs.
Optical & Surface Analysis
High-resolution optical profilers for surface roughness, micro-defects, and coating thickness.
Hardness & Material Testing
Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell hardness testing alongside spectrometry for material verification.
