Physical Digital achieves Nadcap reaccreditation

 

In 2019, Physical Digital proudly achieved the world’s first Nadcap accreditation for Measurement and Inspection using 3D Structured Light (3DSL). To be awarded this initially was huge recognition for all the hard work and dedication of our skilled and knowledgeable team, however to be reaccredited following the acquisition of Physical Digital by Trescal, as well as the challenges faced with the Covid-19 Pandemic is testament to our team, whose aim is to continuously deliver excellence in metrology for our customers.

Nadcap describes itself as an industry-managed approach to conformity assessment that brings together technical experts from both Industry and Government which:

  • Establishes stringent industry consensus standards
  • Replaces routine auditing of Suppliers with one approved through a consensus decision-making process of members from the user community
  • Conducts more in-depth, technically superior critical process audits
  • Improves Supplier quality throughout industry through stringent requirements
  • Reduces costs through improved standardisation
  • Utilises technically expert auditors to assure process familiarity

We have provided 3D Scanning and metrology services to the Aerospace industry for many years, completing repeatability studies, batch measurement, inspection and analysis on industrial components from single turbine blades to complete jet turbine engines and full aircraft. Our exemplary service has built us a reputation over the years as one of the UK’s leading service providers of 3D Scanning using 3DSL and a UK Gom service provider.

At our facility in Surrey, we operate a state-of-the-art metrology facility optimised for non-contact automated and manual 3D scanning. We are able to carefully managed the environment for measurement with monitoring and controls including precise temperature control, diffused airflow distribution, optimised lighting and humidity monitoring to ensure any effects are understood and mitigated.

Demonstrating our ongoing commitment to quality

Utilising the industry-leading GOM metrology systems, we specialise in capturing high-accuracy surface data for a wide variety of industrial sectors such as Aerospace, Power Generation, Automotive and many more. Working to Nadcap Measurement and inspection requirements demonstrates the continuation of the high level of service that we provide, delivering quality data with unprecedented levels of traceability.

Physical Digital® – Covid-19

Business operation during Covid-19 pandemic

June 2021 – Business Operation

As we continue to operate within the parameters of the Government Guidelines for the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic, our team here at Physical Digital continue to do all we can to operate as safely as possible, to protect both our customers and our staff. Throughout this pandemic we have implemented a number of changes to our working practises to comply with the most up-to-date government guidelines. This has enabled us to continue to offer both in-house and on-site 3D scanning services to our customers.

Prior to visiting any customer site, our Engineers will complete a Coronavirus – Site Working risk assessment to confirm that safe working conditions can be assured. The site engineer will confirm all agreed actions have been implemented by the customer to mitigate the risk before starting work on site. We expect all our customers to act responsibly and help maintain a safe working environment for all. Should our customers require us to complete a Coronavirus health check document or their own risk assessment documents before attending site, we would be happy to do so. Please discuss this with our staff at the time of booking in any 3D Scanning services.

In order to protect our customers and colleagues, all visitors to our site are required to complete a Coronavirus health questionnaire no more than 48 hours before visiting. All visitors will also be required to have their temperature taken before entering the site and should be wearing a mask that covers both the nose and mouth.

All deliveries to site, including items sent for 3D scanning, are placed in quarantine for 24 hours. This should be factored into any timescales when discussing potential projects with our team.

Should you wish to discuss any aspects of your project in relation to the restrictions in place for Covid-19, please do give us a call on 01483 750200 or email info@physicaldigital.com where a member of our team would be happy to help.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support.
