MicroDynamics

What MicroDynamics does

MicroDynamics LLC is a private, US-based manufacturer of precision quality control instruments and software for the flexographic printing industry, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Woodstock, Georgia. The company designs and produces non-contact optical measurement systems—including the 3DQC Veritas and 3DQC Classic interferometric microscopes and the LaserQC scanner—used by anilox roll manufacturers, press OEMs, and packaging printers and converters to measure anilox cell volume, screen count, characteristic depth, and surface condition. Its measurement technology is built on white light interferometry, delivering ±1% volume measurement repeatability and scan times under eight seconds, with the 3DQC Veritas receiving the 2023 FTA Technical Innovation Award.

The product portfolio spans hardware (inspection instruments, calibration stands, roll holders, Anti-Vibe vibration-reduction tables, and a magnetic base for in-press inspection), on-premise software (MicroScan3 for instrument control, 3D visualization, and audit history), and a cloud-based data platform (MIRA, with MIRA Connect for third-party data and MIRA Robotics for API-driven autonomous inspection). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware and software license sales, complemented by training and support services, with a 100% financing program (0% down, customizable terms) available to ease capital cost. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with regional channel partners in the US (All Printing Resources), Canada (DTM Flexo Services), and Europe (Sibress), plus OEM-embedded integrations with press manufacturers SOMA, BW Converting (PCMC), and TWEN.

MicroDynamics is founder-led and privately held with no external institutional investment identified. Its named customer base includes leading anilox OEMs (Apex International, Pamarco, Harper Corporation, Praxair Surface Technologies, Interflex, Cheshire) and press OEMs (SOMA, PCMC/BW Converting), and the company is active at industry events including Labelexpo, FTA INFOFLEX, and Drupa. The recent product cadence—MIRA platform launch (September 2025), MicroScan 3.7 (May 2025), MIRA Robotics for BW Converting (June 2025), MIRA Connect (December 2025), and the magnetic base accessory (March 2025)—signals a deliberate platform evolution from standalone optical instruments toward connected, data-driven QC automation across multi-site converters and OEM press systems.

Core offering

MicroDynamics designs and manufactures precision anilox and gravure roll inspection instruments for the flexographic printing industry, including the 3DQC Veritas, 3DQC Classic, and LaserQC systems based on white light interferometry and laser scanning. The hardware is paired with the MicroScan3 inspection software and the cloud-based MIRA Intelligence Platform, which together provide QC measurement, 3D visualization, multi-site data analytics, and autonomous inspection automation through MIRA Robotics.

Product overview

MicroDynamics provides an integrated portfolio of anilox and gravure roll inspection solutions for the flexographic printing industry. The core hardware portfolio includes three precision inspection instruments: the 3DQC Veritas (for printers and converters), the 3DQC Classic (for anilox OEMs and service providers), and the LaserQC (for coarse cylinders under 150 lpi). All instruments use white light interferometry or precision laser scanning and are controlled by the third-generation MicroScan3 inspection software, which delivers 3D surface visualization, measurement analytics, and audit history tracking. The MIRA Intelligence Platform is a cloud-based overlay that aggregates anilox data from Veritas instruments across multiple sites, providing global visibility, analytics, and automated alerting; MIRA Connect extends this to third-party data sources. MIRA Robotics enables autonomous inspection automation through API integration with presses and cleaners. A range of inspection accessories (calibration stands, roll holders, vibration reduction tables, and magnetic bases) supports the instruments.
