In the field of metrology, Tekniker stands out for offering advanced dimensional calibration and measurement services and innovative developments, ranging from macro to micro scales, and with 2D/3D inspection and measurement technologies for the digitisation of different kind of objects and scenarios.
Additionally, Tekniker’s laboratory is certified in dimensional metrology and provides calibration and measurement services using a wide range of technologies. This expertise provides the latest digital innovations from industrial inspection and metrology to the Cultural Heritage sector.
