Case Study: Hofmann & Engel achieves reliable on-machine measuring and documentation with Hexagon 3D Form Inspect

Hofmann & Engel - Customer Case Study

Hofmann & Engel, a German milling service provider, struggled with the challenging task of measuring complex, large-scale workpieces directly on their machines and providing the required documentation for mould making and single component manufacturing. To address this, they partnered with Hexagon to implement the m&h 3D Form Inspect software and touch probes.

The solution from Hexagon enabled on-machine measurement, allowing operators to quickly check workpieces against CAD data, generate protocols, and perform precise reworks using the Best Fit module. This resulted in a significant reduction in returns, the ability to win new orders by offering verified quality, and greatly improved operational safety through integrated collision control, ensuring flawless components leave their workshop.
