In-House Inspection
Our Inspection and Calibration Lab
Mantz Automation provides in-house inspection for injection mold tooling, contract-machined parts, plastic parts, and electrodes. Our inspection lab was built in 2025 and includes CMM equipment and 3D scanning technology.
With advanced ZEISS inspection equipment and in-house expertise, we can verify critical dimensions, geometries, and tolerances throughout the manufacturing process, helping you catch issues early, maintain quality, and move confidently into production.
Our in-house inspection capabilities include:
- Injection mold tooling inspection
- Contract machining inspection
- Plastic part inspection
- Electrode inspection
- CMM measurement
- 3D scanning
- Inspection documentation

Inspection Services
Mantz Automation uses advanced CMM and 3D scanning equipment to document the accuracy of tooling, machined components, plastic parts, and electrodes.

Zeiss 12/18/8
The Zeiss 12/18/8 is Mantz’s larger coordinate measuring machine. Its expanded measurement envelope and higher weight capacity make it suitable for inspecting larger tooling, components, and parts that require additional measurement space.
- X-axis: 1,200 mm
- Y-axis: 1,800 mm
- Z-axis: 800 mm
- Weight capacity: 2,645 lb.
A coordinate measuring machine measures points on a part along multiple axes to document dimensions and geometry.
Zeiss DuraMax CMM
The Zeiss DuraMax is a coordinate measuring machine for inspecting parts and components within a 500 mm measurement envelope. Its 220-pound weight capacity allows it to accommodate a variety of smaller tooling, machined parts, plastic parts, and electrodes.
- X-axis: 500 mm
- Y-axis: 500 mm
- Z-axis: 500 mm
- Weight capacity: 220 lb.
The DuraMax gives Mantz an additional CMM option for projects that fit within its measurement range.


Zeiss T-SCAN Hawk 2
The ZEISS T-SCAN Hawk 2 is a portable 3D laser scanning system designed for high-precision, non-contact inspection of parts, tooling, and complex geometries. This allows us to capture detailed 3D measurements and verify components where traditional CMM inspection may not be the best fit.
- Volumetric accuracy: 0.02 mm + 0.015 mm/m
- Laser classification: IEC 60825-1:2014
- Certified carbon-fiber length standards: DAkkS / ILAC
