Savoy Moulage, a Savoy International subsidiary specializing in technical plastic injection and tooling design, is a long-standing Metrologic DCS customer. Its metrology department needed to:
A single, universal 3D measurement software compatible with any CMM brand lets Savoy Moulage carry its entire program library across machine generations and drive 5-axis point measurement with the PH20 head. Learn more about Metrolog.
Metrologists prepare and simulate 3D inspection programs on a virtual twin before parts arrive on the CMM, using CAD files to cut configuration time and guarantee collision-free routines with Silma.
Fitted on a Wenzel CMM, the PH20 5-axis head lets Savoy Moulage capture more points, faster and with greater repeatability, while cutting CMM calibration time from hours to about thirty minutes.
Switching to 5-axis point measurement with the PH20 head cut execution time on most programs threefold compared to 3-axis measurement, with greater precision and repeatability.
5-axis calibration replaces the several hours once needed on conventional 3-axis machines, allowing more frequent calibration across the CMM fleet.
The entire measurement program database was migrated when Savoy Moulage upgraded its CMM, preserving fifteen years of metrology know-how.
Using CAD files, metrologists now prepare measurement programs before the part arrives on the shop floor, cutting configuration time.
The PH20 head's positioning flexibility lets Savoy Moulage collect a higher volume of points per part, feeding more precise tooling adjustments.
Before Silma, program preparation ate into time better spent measuring. Now, metrologists build and simulate each 3D inspection program offline using the part’s CAD file, well before it reaches the CMM — including a metrological analysis of tomography and rheology files through point cloud comparison.
In 2022, Savoy Moulage added a Wenzel CMM equipped with Renishaw’s PH20 5-axis contact system, driven by Metrolog. The company chose point measurement over scanning, since tooling retouching depends on points distributed precisely across the part geometry — a natural fit for 5-axis measurement.
The PH20 head’s infinite positioning also gives Savoy Moulage access to more features per part, capturing a higher volume of points with greater detail for tooling adjustments. Calibration, once several hours per machine on a conventional 3-axis fleet, now takes about thirty minutes — making frequent recalibration realistic across the whole shop floor.
Savoy Moulage has been a local Metrologic DCS customer for over ten years, a relationship built on responsiveness and continuous improvement. Its metrology department gets annual, customized training that tracks every software update, keeping the team current as the platform evolves.
Beyond its French site, Savoy Moulage is rolling out the same industrial culture at Savoy International sites in Tunisia, Morocco, and Romania, gradually integrating 3D precision measurement so that series production repeats the same checks defined during tooling development.
Savoy International is a French industrial group founded in 1982, specializing in mechatronics, plastic injection, and mechanical engineering, with more than 1,000 employees today. Based in Cluses, in France’s Arve Valley, its Savoy Moulage subsidiary supplies major names in home automation, automotive, connectors, aeronautics, energy, and industrial sectors, in France and abroad.
