WHAT WE DO
Equipment Rental
Tried and True has access to top of the line measurement equipment for any of your job needs.
Why Rent Metrology Equipment?
Renting measurement equipment is an ideal solution when your team needs temporary access to high-accuracy tools without the cost of long-term ownership. Whether you're validating tooling, scanning components for a redesign, or performing precision alignment during a shutdown, equipment rental gives your team the flexibility to work efficiently and at your own pace.
Our rental options support a wide range of industries across the United States, including aerospace, automotive, power generation, marine, manufacturing, and MRO environments.
Available Rental Equipment
We provide access to advanced metrology systems used by major manufacturers, OEMs, and engineering teams nationwide. Rental units are fully calibrated, tested, and shipped in protective cases for immediate use.
- Portable 3D scanners for parts, tooling, and large assemblies
- Laser trackers for precision alignment and large-scale inspection
- Structured light scanners for high-detail workflows
- Inspection software licences for reporting and GD&T analysis
- Targets, tripods, accessories, and measurement kits
Equipment rental is available nationwide, with fast shipping options to support urgent project timelines.
Benefits of Renting vs. Hiring a Technician
Choosing between renting equipment and hiring a skilled metrology technician depends on your project requirements, timeline, and available in-house expertise.
When Renting Makes Sense
- Your engineering team is familiar with 3D scanning or alignment workflows
- You need flexibility over several days or weeks
- You're completing R&D, prototyping, or design validation work
- You want to capture data across multiple site visits without repeated technician fees
When Hiring a Technician Is the Better Option
- Mission-critical accuracy is required (aerospace, power generation, automotive BIW, etc.)
- Your team is new to metrology equipment
- You’re facing a tight shutdown window or urgent maintenance issue
- Complex fixtures, tooling, or robotics require expert alignment
