Checked against your CAD before it leaves Witney.
Every job is programmed in CATIA, proved in VERICUT, machined to 0.2 mm and scanned against your model in our temperature-controlled inspection room. If you want the evidence, we'll send it.
What happens to your part
Quality gets agreed before anything is cut. We settle datums, tolerances and what you want reported when we quote, and every job then follows the same five steps.
Spec agreed
Datums, tolerances and reporting fixed at quote, from your STEP file.
Programmed
Toolpaths written in CATIA V5 from your model.
Proved
Simulated in VERICUT so clashes and gouges show up on screen, not on your part.
Machined
On CMS 5-axis machines checked weekly with Pointsure and maintained on a schedule.
Inspected
Scanned and probed against your CAD. Deviation map and report from PolyWorks on request.
Our last calibration results
Anyone can say "calibrated". These are the actual numbers from the Creaform MetraSCAN BLACK|Elite certificate, tested by Measurement Solutions at Silverstone on 5 May 2026. Results in mm.
What we measure with
Optical scanning for the whole surface, touch probing for datums and features, and a calibrated arm as back-up. It's kept in the temperature-controlled inspection room, away from the machines.
Creaform MetraSCAN BLACK|Elite + HandyPROBE Next
Optical CMM for the whole surface, with wireless touch probing in the same coordinate system for datums and features. Handles dark, shiny and mixed surfaces without spray or targets.
FARO Edge arm
Kept in the inspection room as a calibrated second system alongside the Creaform.
PolyWorks
Colour deviation maps and dimensional reports against your CAD, set up the way you want them.

Common questions
What do I get with an inspected part?
Every part is checked against your CAD before it ships. On request we supply a colour deviation map from the scan and a dimensional report.
Can you inspect parts you didn't machine?
Yes. We do standalone laser inspection and reverse engineering on parts, patterns and tools made elsewhere.
Who certifies your quality system?
NQA, a UKAS-accredited certification body. We're audited every year.
Checked every week
CMS Pointsure probing a reference on the table to check 5-axis alignment and zero point. If a machine drifts, we find out here, not on your part.
