Case Study: Kieback Schäfer Group achieves streamlined, scalable 3D testing and measurement with Autodesk PowerInspect

Software put to the test at Schäfer

Kieback Schäfer Group’s Schäfer company in Osnabrück, a full‑service automotive and prototype supplier, needed a modern, hardware‑neutral testing and measuring solution to validate product quality early in development and stay competitive. After evaluating several options, the firm adopted Autodesk’s PowerInspect through Autodesk’s subscription program to give engineers a current, CAD‑compatible measurement platform.

Autodesk implemented PowerInspect across Schäfer’s workflows, replacing disparate coordinate systems and handheld scanners with a uniform, easy‑to‑use platform that reduced training time and increased operational flexibility. The changeover grew from two licenses to 29, enabled inspection against all common CAD formats, supported mobile and reverse‑engineering workflows, and—via Autodesk’s subscription model—keeps the company on the latest releases to meet rising customer demand.
