QFP will leverage the technological offer of
Creaform’s tools for automated 3D metrology in the European market
Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, February 10th,
2022 – Creaform, worldwide
leader in portable and automated metrology solutions, and QFP,
one of the leading Italian metrology companies, have recently announced a
strategic partnership to further deploy automated quality control solutions for
the European manufacturing industry.
QFP, one of the main European companies active in metrology services,
reverse engineering and related design, carries out its operations from their
facilities in Padua and Spoleto in Italy, and is able to offer their expertise
to customers all over Europe.
The agreement signed between Creaform and QFP defines the latter as
Creaform's "strategic partner" for automation activities in Europe.
This brings added value for both companies’ customers, as it increases the
offer of automatic QFP systems, and makes this technology available to even
more Creaform customers in Europe.
Cube-R & QBOX EVOLUTION:
Starting from Creaform solutions for automated quality control applications, the R-Series™ 3D
scanning solutions, QFP will be able to adapt this standard product to
customized applications. The QBOX EVOLUTION is designed to meet specific needs of
customers. Modification of the layout, additional axes, addition of contour
elements such as automatic support devices, integration with production lines,
additional control cameras, automatic loading / unloading systems and much more
complete the proposal. The dozens of automated QFP installations on the market
are proof that attention to the customers’ needs is the most important starting
point for creating that "tailored suit" that is sought after.
“The satisfaction of those who successfully use
our systems is the most powerful engine to push us to invest energy and
resources to perfect our skills” - comments Roberto Mazzetto Director of Sales
and Marketing of QFP. “Our expertise as integrator and solution provider is
what most distinguishes us from other companies in the sector and sharing these
pluses with a company that focuses on the same values is what we were looking
for to help our customers and our partners to grow in a healthy and structured
way.”
Stefan Hoheisel, Director Global Business Development at Creaform, adds:
“The collaboration with QFP brings the already strong proposition of Creaform’s
3D metrology tools, our skills and experience to the next level. The resulting
combination of standard and customized automation solutions is a highly
professional and complete product offer for the whole manufacturing industry.”
