Case Study: miTec Mikrotechnologie GmbH cuts manual rework by 50% with Hexagon m&h probing systems and software

miTec Mikrotechnologie GmbH - Customer Case Study

miTec Mikrotechnologie GmbH, a manufacturer of high-precision moulds and micro-components, faced challenges with time-consuming manual inspection and rework to ensure its products met extremely tight tolerances. The company sought a solution to integrate quality control directly into its machining process to reduce these inefficiencies and meet shorter customer delivery times, turning to vendor Hexagon for its m&h probing systems and 3D Form Inspect software.

Hexagon implemented its m&h touch probes and toolsetters on miTec's machining centers, enabling in-process measurement of workpieces directly on the machine. The accompanying 3D Form Inspect software performed nominal/actual comparisons with CAD data, allowing for immediate adjustments and significantly reducing manual inspection. This solution from Hexagon cut miTec's subsequent manual work by 50%, ensured parts were right the first time, and provided a substantial competitive advantage through faster production cycles.
