AAT3D's CAPPS Software Suite Achieves NIST Certification for Precise Measurement

Applied Automation Technologies (AAT3D) has achieved a significant milestone with the NIST certification of all geometric feature fitting algorithms in its CAPPS software suite. This certification, covering both seeded and unseeded data sets, assures manufacturers of the software's precision and reliability.

CAPPS-NC, a key component of the suite, transforms machining centers into powerful measurement platforms. This enables real-time, in-process verification, facilitating adaptive machining and closed-loop process control. NIST's rigorous certification process ensures that CAPPS' algorithms meet stringent mathematical and computational accuracy standards, providing traceable, repeatable, and reliable measurement data.

The certification also validates CAPPS' performance in real-world shop-floor environments, with varying conditions. By embedding certified measurement into the manufacturing process, AAT3D helps companies move closer to the vision of self-correcting production systems. The certified CAPPS software includes CAPPS-DMIS for traditional CMMs and CAPPS-NC for on-machine measurement, supporting a wide range of manufacturing needs.

With NIST-certified measurement algorithms and on-machine closed-loop inspection, AAT3D's CAPPS software aligns with the broader manufacturing shift toward the digital thread. This enables faster, data-driven decision-making, enhancing productivity and quality control. The company, led by its President and CEO, continues to innovate and set industry standards in automation and measurement technologies.
