Built on a legacy of innovation and customer-focused development, Verisurf 2026 introduces numerous new features and workflow improvements designed to help manufacturers reduce costs, save time, and enhance repeatable process control across all stages of digital manufacturing.
All CNC machines are subject to geometric errors over time from natural wear and tear or sudden events like crashes. API’s XD-Laser is a multi-axis laser interferometer that provides rapid, precise measurement and calibration of machine tools and robotic systems, ensuring optimal performance and accuracy.
Rigaku Corporation, a solution partner in X-ray analytical systems has announced the launch of the ONYX 3200, a new semiconductor metrology system to measure film thickness, composition and bump structures for wafer-level processes.
As industries accelerate toward spatial computing, digital twins, and Physical AI, a fundamental infrastructure challenge continues to limit scale and adoption: high-fidelity 3D data can be too large to move efficiently. From factory-wide digital twins to LiDAR-based inspection environments, the sheer weight of 3D assets can become a bottleneck for real-time visualization, simulation, and collaboration.
XELA Robotics, a specialist in advanced 3D tactile sensor technology, has successfully integrated its uSkin sensors into a Tesollo DG-5F five-fingered anthropomorphic robot hand – a popular model capable of human-level gripping and manipulation.
At CES 2026, Siemens and NVIDIA announced an expanded partnership aimed at transforming industrial manufacturing through artificial intelligence. Building on years of collaboration, the companies introduced the Industrial AI Operating System, a platform designed to accelerate innovation and optimize operations across the full lifecycle of products and production.
The scanCONTROL 3010-200 laser profile scanners from Micro-Epsilon enable robots to precisely detect and handle flexible cables in real-time. Software synchronises the data from the sensors with the movement of the robot for precise positioning of the cables on the cable harness, providing an efficient and economical application solution.
In the rapidly maturing pickleball market, the gap between good and great has narrowed to just a few percentage points. For elite paddles, performance differences between top brands can be as small as five percent—nearly indistinguishable without precise measurement. At this level of refinement, incremental improvements are no longer enough
By adopting the Hexagon SmartScan VR800 structured light scanner, Denso now performs fast, high-accuracy, non-contact inspection of multiple parts simultaneously. This upgrade led to time savings, improved defect detection, and greater flexibility, enhancing product quality and helping Denso meet the strict standards of their global automotive clients.
Prior to adopting the XM-5000, JETAIR SUPPORT relied on conventional manual hand tools, including calipers, micrometers, and height gauges. These tools were used to measure critical features such as thickness, height, roundness, and concentricity on complex aviation components.
In industrial metrology, accuracy is routinely measured in microns. Increasingly, however, these same precision technologies are finding applications far beyond the factory floor. One of the most compelling examples is their growing role in the scientific analysis and conservation of cultural heritage.
Verisurf’s role at Flying S goes far beyond simple measurement. It serves as a common platform that allows inspection, engineering, and production to speak the same language. Its universal compatibility with all hardware and any CAD file makes it ideal for Flying S’s diverse workflow.
In a landmark achievement for the world’s largest fusion experiment, ITER has successfully positioned Sector Module #5 – the third vacuum vessel module to enter the Tokamak pit and the first manufactured in Europe.
“With the Bruker Alicona G6, we reached a level of accuracy that lets us design tools we couldn’t even analyze before. It opens geometries that were previously invisible to us.” explains Zecchini. “This capability is especially crucial for tools used on non-ferrous materials, where surface reflectivity makes measurement notoriously complex.”
Artec Leo’s point-and-shoot functionality allows new users to achieve high-quality results in minutes, while its built-in screen, battery, and processor make it easy to deploy off-site.
Humtown leveraged a 7-axis Hexagon Absolute Scan arm PCMM for high-precision scanning but lacked the software integration necessary to harness its full potential. The missing link? ReverseEngineering.com’s SCAN-to-CAD add-in, a SolidWorks Gold Partner solution that seamlessly integrates high-fidelity scan data into the CAD environment.
Stahl Lasertechnik GmbH, a German specialist in metal sheet processing, has significantly upgraded its quality control processes by integrating Kreon 3D measurement solutions. Facing challenges in maintaining high-precision inspection and detecting deformation defects in complex assemblies, the company sought an advanced solution for First Article Inspection (FAI), process optimization, and comprehensive part measurement management.
The drive to reduce tooling costs and accelerate development cycles has led engineers at AMRC Cymru, UK to explore whether 3D-printed moulds can offer a practical alternative for prototype and low-volume injection moulding.
