ENGINEERINGNET.EU - CM4D is product quality validation software used primarily in the aerospace and automotive industries.

The software compares the geometric design specification for a component or assembly with as built data from the actual manufactured component or assembly. The differences provide a manufacturer with a map to tackle both design and manufacturing issues in the pursuit of perfect quality.

Essentially, the software fills the gap between the virtual design world of Computer Aided Design and the physical world of manufacturing.

A total of 32 employees, based in Detroit are transferring with the business to ATS USA.

Mike James, Group Chairman of ATS stated: “The software of QMC is used by Ford Motor Company as a global standard for product validation for new product launches and throughout the product lifecycle. Other customers include Honda, Chrysler, Caterpillar, Jaguar, Land Rover, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter and Spirit Aerosystems.
