About 3D innotec AG
3D innotec AG is an independent, owner-managed Swiss engineering and metrology company with locations in Arbon and Amriswil in the canton of St. Gallen. The company combines technical services with the development and manufacture of specialized inspection systems. Core services are non-contact optical 3D metrology (ATOS Core, TRITOP, mobile handheld scanners), reverse engineering with surface reconstruction to ±0,01 mm, tool correction for plastic injection molding processes, quality assurance with EMPB and NOMINAL/ACTUAL comparison, as well as engineering of machines and systems in the GxP environment. In-house developed products are the leak testing system DPS (CCIT, blue bath dye ingress) and the stopper position measuring system SPM for pre-filled syringes and cartridges, made from stainless steel 1.4404/1.4301 and aluminum. Customers come from pharmaceuticals, medtech, mechanical and plant engineering as well as plastics technology. Manufacturing, assembly and commissioning are carried out with partners including GMP qualification (DQ, IQ, OQ, FAT, SAT).
