Delta XD achieves Nadcap accreditation for 3D structured light systems

Delta XD, a Zeiss-certified metrology partner and provider of dimensional inspection services, has achieved Nadcap AC7130/4 accreditation for 3D structured light systems (3DSL). The accreditation was awarded following the company’s first audit.

This success builds upon Delta XD’s existing certifications — AS9100D, Cyber Essentials, JOSCAR — and reinforces its reputation as a UK leader in metrology that is committed to quality, safety and process control.

The accreditation covers both in-house services with Delta XD’s Zeiss ScanBox and ATOS system, and on-site inspection using portable 3D scanning equipment — a capability held by only a handful of companies worldwide.

Nadcap accreditation is widely recognised as evidence of a company’s capability to operate at the highest level of quality and safety. With more than 50 aerospace prime subscribers requiring Nadcap throughout their supply chains, including Rolls-Royce where it’s a SABRe requirement when using 3D scanning systems, the achievement demonstrates Delta XD’s ability to support aerospace OEMs, tier-one suppliers and their supply chains with the highest assurance standards.

“We’re very pleased to have secured Nadcap accreditation in such a positive way,” says Daniel Lainchbury, COO of Delta XD. “This milestone underlines the expertise and commitment to high standards. It’s recognition not only of our technical capabilities, but also of the dedication of our team. We look forward to maintaining this accreditation and working towards Merit status in due course.”

Delta XD says its achievement of Nadcap accreditation sends a clear message to existing and future customers: the company is committed to delivering accredited, high-precision 3D scanning services that meet the most stringent aerospace and defence standards.
