DualSnap™

Dual-Mode Snapshot On-Machine Metrology System

DuSnap™ is a compact, dual-mode on-machine metrology system designed for real-time surface measurement during production. By combining laser interferometry and LED interference microscopy, DuSnap™ enables in-situ measurement of surface form and roughness without part removal. It is designed to improve accuracy, throughput, and process stability on the production floor.
