Precision 3D Measurement & Laser Marking Solutions for Additive Manufacturing
Problem Statement:
Additive manufacturing processes often suffer from inconsistent part quality due to limited in-process inspection, dimensional variability, and post-processing traceability challenges. Many manufacturers lack scalable, high-resolution measurement systems that integrate seamlessly into the production environment.

Technology Solution Statement:
Keyence provides compact, high-speed 3D measurement systems (such as the LJ-X8000 Series) capable of sub-micron inspection of complex geometries directly on the production floor. Coupled with fiber and UV laser markers, Keyence enables direct part marking of additively manufactured materials without surface damage. These solutions support in-line automation, are easy to program via intuitive software, and ensure consistent quality and traceability at every stage of the AM lifecycle.
Benefits Statement:
Keyence’s advanced 3D measurement and laser marking solutions enable real-time dimensional inspection and high-contrast, permanent part identification. These technologies reduce scrap, support automated QA, and enhance traceability—ultimately accelerating validation and compliance in aerospace and defense additive workflows.
