Measurement services

At the Manufacturing Metrology Team (MMT), we provide high-quality measurement services using advanced commercial equipment to deliver accurate, reliable insights into surface topography, including both texture and form.

 

Our expertise supports a broad range of sectors, including aerospace, automotive, precision engineering, healthcare, heritage conservation, and traditional manufacturing. Whether you need to verify product quality, diagnose a manufacturing issue, or investigate the behaviour of novel materials, our team can provide the insight you need.

Using state-of-the-art optical, tactile, and non-contact dimensional measurement systems, we offer:

  • Detailed surface characterisation for research, development, and production

  • Independent, traceable measurements aligned with international standards

  • Tailored measurement solutions tailored to your specific components, materials and requirements

From one-off measurement tasks to long-term quality monitoring, our services combine technical rigour with deep industrial experience, ensuring you receive reliable, actionable data to support confident, evidence-based decision-making. Our clients include SMEs and large organisations across the UK, including major industrial partners such as UKAEA, AWE, and Toyota.
