Quality Assurance in Plastics Manufacturing

From prototype to production

3D measurement technology in plastics manufacturing

Companies in the plastics processing industry have to meet very high demands on the quality of their parts. When defective parts occur during plastics manufacturing, it means extra work - often costing more. This makes meticulous quality management all the more important. Time-to-market is also crucial to success. Therefore, inspection processes must be streamlined and measuring results must be directly translated into product improvements.

This is exactly where ZEISS supports you: Our measuring systems and software solutions are used throughout the entire process chain in the plastics industry. You benefit from more efficient processes, precise measurements, fewer iteration loops, and significant time savings.
