”As the instructor, I can quickly and easily pre-program the inspection routines in Verisurf for each test part. The students can then Align, Inspect, and Report their finished parts. I can then verify each inspection and complete the Inspector Verification Form for submission and certification. The students gain exposure to in-process inspection and reporting, and I save more than 20 hours a week in administrative time measuring and grading parts. This is time I can put right back into the shop working with students. It’s a win-win.
Van Buren TechGabe Kooyers - Advanced Manufacturing Program Instructor and President of the Michigan Machine Tool Instructor Association
”Verisurf has revolutionized our inspection process. Coming from a background of using multiple, complex CMM programming software, I was pleasantly surprised by Verisurf's intuitive interface and streamlined workflow. The software's ability to quickly and easily create inspection routines has significantly reduced our programming time and errors. Verisurf's tools make it accessible to programmers and operators of all skill levels.

”Verisurf is our quality inspection and reporting platform, we use it to control all of our measurement devices, process measurement data, and generate custom reports. With Verisurf integrating new hardware into our measurement toolset is easy, the team is already familiar with the interface and can be quickly trained on any nuances associated with an added device.
Engineered Machining SolutionsDavid Szabo – CEO
”Before we had Verisurf and a portable CMM arm we had to send all of our first article inspections out to a measurement service bureau which was costly and time consuming. We purchased Verisurf with a PCMM arm in 2006 and have been able to perform all of our FAIs, both model-based and blueprint type, in house, significantly reducing costs and achieving much better flow through the inspection department. I really like being able to control the entire process rather than having to rely on outside sources. Verisurf has proven to be easy to learn and use which is important in getting the technology quickly integrated on the floor. The customer support is great and everyone at Verisurf cares about our company and its success.
American Aircraft Products IncGlen Ellis - Director of Quality
”Our aerospace customers were moving towards requiring us to work exclusively from CAD data to manufacture and inspect the tooling we supplied them. Our tool builders/inspectors had been running a legacy software product that did not meet the demands of our ever growing needs. Based on the new requirements, we searched and found Verisurf. The software''s ability to directly read CATIA models is the best I have ever seen, and I have tried them all. What''s more, Verisurf allowed us to realize a considerable improvement in productivity.
Global Tooling SystemsBryan Boyce - IT Manager
”We run both laser trackers and CMMs with Verisurf, this allows me to move my personnel around to best suit my workload requirements rather than having to train them on multiple software platforms. With the ease of use and short learning curve I can have new employees up to speed and productive in a very short period of time.
Votaw PrecisionScott Merrell - Quality Manager
”I selected Verisurf as the metrology software of choice for Tri Models because it is a true common platform for all of our devices. We use Verisurf on our laser trackers, PCMM arms, manual CMMs and even use it to program our DCC CMMs. When you have as many different devices as we do, the cost savings are tremendous, not only for training but on cost of ownership as well. Verisurf has been extremely easy for us to learn and use and our customers really enjoy receiving the all electronic reports that we send them.
Tri ModelsPrince Herzog - CEO
”When we set out to break the 763 mph world land speed record, we needed to develop a digitized model for FEA and CFD Studies of a 50 year-old aircraft design. We ran into a brick wall when we discovered that no data was available so we had to reverse engineer the 56 foot long North American Eagle. We used Verisurf Software, working with FARO Arms and Laser Trackers, to completely digitize the vehicle in one day. Verisurf technicians provided immediate onsite support to meet our tight schedule. The Verisurf technicians continue to provide professional and timely support whenever we call.
North American EagleEd Shadle - Driver / Project Manager

Wilbert Plastic Services, Inc.Mike Axen - Tooling Inspector
”You know it''s just that simple. It''s one of the coolest revolutions that I have seen in the industry. For fixture building, the Verisurf and arm combination are more accurate than hard tooling and much faster. It''s a huge labor saver. We can build stuff in days that used to take us weeks.
Planet Tool & EngineeringSteve Grassmuck - Project Manager
”We have gone totally to MBD (model based definitions), so we are using the design model to check our parts. The model controls everything: it is what we are inspecting against and it is what we are reporting to. To do this, we use Verisurf. It makes it very easy to go through, examine and evaluate a part. When we are done inspecting, the report is automatically created.
ITTOrlando Gomez - QC Department Supervisor
”Verisurf metrology software is doing its part in maintaining precision in the shop and on the launch pad. We use it for everything from tooling fabrication to pre-launch preparation. With Verisurf, we are looking directly at the CAD model and the measurement results. We see the measurements reflected against the 3D model and this makes the process faster and reduces mistakes. We aren''t drawing free, yet, but like the rest of the aerospace industry we are striving to implement model-based definition to achieve its many benefits.
SpaceXLarry Mosse - Tooling Operations Manager
”We have been using Verisurf since 1997 and it has been the most useful tool to being successful in our business.
