About Qmess GmbH
Qmess GmbH is a service company for dimensional coordinate metrology based in Riedlingen-Zell. The company supports manufacturers across industries in quality assurance and inspects components from small parts to large assemblies regardless of material – tactile, analog and optical on modern 3D coordinate measuring machines. Its service portfolio includes contract measurement against CAD data, first-article inspection with inspection reports according to VDA/QS9000, series inspection including machine capability studies, sorting and surface inspections as well as 100% inspection of safety-critical components. In addition, Qmess offers contract programming (QUINDOS, PC-DMIS, CAMIO, Focus, PolyWorks), digitization of freeform surfaces with STL data output, gear measurement, gauge control, design and alignment of measuring fixtures, training courses, and the provision of metrology specialists on site. Since 2006, the company has been accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 for tactile 3D metrology (registration number D-PL-17311-01-00) and can look back on more than 20 years of experience.
