3D Shaper
Three-dimensional measuring solutions (CMMs)

Complete dimensional analysis for pipes, profiles and hollow profiles from 10 mm to 500+ mm diameter

Our control solutions evaluate flat products for welded profiles and tubes, or extruded and seamless products. We measure in-line, contact-free and without stopping production: thickness, total and individual strip width, weld quality, shape, length, flatness, surface defects, ovality, and straightness. 3D CMMs verify linear dimensions, wall thickness, straightness, shape deviation, ovality, and geometric tolerances - meeting industry standards for quality and performance.
