A spin-out from the National Physical Laboratory

Measurement you can trust

K3Metrology is developing Metralis® — a new class of coordinate measurement technology delivering fast, accurate and traceable data for aerospace, defence and advanced manufacturing.

The challenge

Modern manufacturing is built on measurement

Industry 4.0 and digital manufacturing promise a step change in productivity and cost — but they depend on one thing: rapid, high-quality, trustworthy measurement data.

  • Today's measurement technology is too slow for the modern factory.
  • Calibration and downtime erode confidence and productivity.
  • Outdated instruments are holding back innovation.

Introducing Metralis

A step change in coordinate measurement

Metralis combines decades of National Physical Laboratory expertise into a single instrument designed for the factory floor.

Measure multiple targets at once

Efficient, flexible manufacturing

Capture many points simultaneously with high accuracy — no slow, point-by-point routines.

Self-calibrating

Confidence in every dataset

Built-in systematic error correction means the system keeps itself honest, automatically.

Traceable to the SI metre

No downtime, no costly recalibration

Direct traceability to the international standard of length — measurements you can defend.

Real-time performance indicator

Know your data is right

Live confidence in your results, so you can act on measurements the moment they are taken.

Built for demanding industries

Wherever precision matters — from aero-structures to nuclear reactor components — Metralis delivers measurement that keeps production moving.
