Measurement and Characterization Services

We are a non-profit organization and offer contract measurement services. These services include surface roughness measurements, 2D and 3D surface profiles, surface finish, and other custom optical testing. We can measure parts with very fast turn around. For more information on measurements and services call Larry Scherrer at 303-556-4175, or email at lscherrer@CAPTcenter.org.

If you don't see the measurements you are looking for, please call because this is not a complete list. We have a 10,000 sq. ft. facility with 2000 sq. ft. of cleanroom space.
