ATT Metrology Services

What ATT Metrology Services does

ATT Metrology Services (operating as ATT Metrology Solutions, headquartered in Issaquah, Washington) is a private industrial metrology company founded in the late 1980s that provides precision measurement, inspection, alignment, and reverse-engineering services to manufacturers in aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, satellite, shipbuilding, and civil infrastructure. The company deploys experienced metrology professionals into customer manufacturing environments and operates its own metrology labs in Issaquah, Theodore (Alabama), and a project office supporting Boeing 787 Final Assembly in Charleston (South Carolina). Service work spans portable metrology, CMM programming, large-scale alignment (including F-16 boresight and aircraft assembly tooling), and 3D scanning for as-built documentation and BIM modeling.

The company's technology stack centers on laser tracking, 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and integrated measurement systems, augmented by proprietary software including the ARTEMIS Robot Accuracy Solution, an Advanced Automation Framework used in Airbus Station 40 and 41 fuselage join operations, Airplane Monitor technology for F-16 airframe modifications, Polyrix integrated inspection systems, and custom FANUC and Beckhoff control integrations. Hardware offerings include precision targets, target adapters (SOSA series), scale bars, monuments, ball mounted retroreflectors, and target kits, complemented by a rental fleet of pre-calibrated laser trackers, laser scanners, laser radar, LiDAR, PCMM arms, and photogrammetry systems.

ATT generates revenue through four streams: professional metrology services (onsite and lab-based measurement, engineering, consulting, and tooling fabrication); equipment rentals; integrated measurement systems sold as managed-scope projects; and hardware product sales through the attinc.com storefront. GTM is predominantly direct enterprise field sales supported by content marketing, a project portfolio, and quote-based pricing. The company is NADCAP-accredited for Measurement and Inspection, holds AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, and is one of a small number of firms globally certified by Boeing and the only U.S. firm approved by Airbus for tooling and production-part inspections. Key enterprise customers include Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Spirit AeroSystems, Bombardier, Bell Helicopter, Pratt & Whitney, Virgin Orbit, Tesla, Rivian, Westinghouse, and Framatome, with the aerospace and defense and automotive manufacturing verticals as primary segments.
