Contract Measurement & training SERVICES

Off Site Or On Site? 

Given the lightweight and portable nature of our Creaform scanners, we’re able to work directly with your team on-site or accommodate your components at our Derby centre. 

MSL engineers can come to your facility anywhere in the UK to assist in removing measurement bottlenecks or by providing a new resource to your team. 

These lightweight scanners are powerful tools for contract measurement, enabling us to give you accurate, repeatable results quickly. 

Alternatively, you’re able to take advantage of our central facility in Derby for high volume or multi-part measurement that requires a CMM or Automated Quality Control solutions such as the Cube-R.

Celebrating 25 years of business

In 2023 we celebrate 25 years of being in business and there have been some significant changes in the last few years, take a look at some highlights from MSL at MACH Exhibition 2022 to see how far we have come! MSL is still very much a measurement company, but with the Creaform technology, in particular, laser scanning and more recently the partnership with next-generation engineering design software from nTopology the design process is now very much part of our core business. With the new rebrand the different areas of the business are now categorised into DESIGN | MANUFACTURE | INSPECT all of which are elements of the overall MSL brand, they will be the building blocks for us moving forwards as a business. 

Listen to what some of the Team have to say and learn more about our future direction and what that could mean for you and your business!
