Automotive Metrology Services - We've got you covered

Automotive metrology services are essential for precision, safety, and efficiency in modern vehicle manufacturing. At Tried & True Metrology, we support OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and custom shops across the U.S. with 3D scanning, jig and fixture verification, and dimensional inspection. From prototype parts to full production tooling, our team delivers accurate, traceable results—helping manufacturers reduce rework, accelerate launches, and meet IATF 16949 automotive quality standards with confidence.

What We Do for the Automotive Industry

Automotive metrology services help ensure parts, jigs, and fixtures meet tight tolerances required by modern vehicle production. At Tried & True Metrology, we deliver precision alignment, part inspection, and fixture validation services that keep automotive programs on track nationwide.

Precision alignment of tooling and jigs. From fuselage assembly fixtures to wing and empennage tooling, we bring targets into tolerance with live readings for fast decisions.
3D scanning for complex geometry. Free-form aero surfaces, composites, nacelles, and interiors captured as point clouds/meshes for rapid analysis and as-built documentation.
Dimensional inspection & GD&T. CAD-to-part comparisons, color maps, and traceable reports for first articles, PPAP/FAI, and production verification.
Reverse engineering & retrofit support. Create accurate models of legacy parts, interfaces, and ground equipment to de-risk modifications.

What We Do for Automotive Manufacturing

Our automotive metrology services help OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and custom shops bring parts to spec faster with less rework.
We combine 3D scanning, dimensional inspection, and
precision alignment.

  • Jig & fixture verification—hole patterns, datums, and clamping schemes validated to CAD.
  • 3D scanning of complex geometry—full-field point clouds/meshes for body-in-white and interiors.
