Metrology Engineering Services

Metrology Engineering Services, called MES, is a UK based aerospace engineering solutions team. It provides laser scanning, reverse engineering, damage assessment and structural reporting. The work is done on site or off site.

MES was founded in March 2023. Its team has a background in aircraft repair engineering from OEM customer services. The company says it aims to give a full digital view of an asset. It wants to digitalise MRO work, reduce aircraft downtime and speed up OEM approvals.

Its metrology and 3D laser scanning service covers dimensional inspection and alignment. It also compares parts with their CAD models and analyses any deviation. Damage assessment includes 3D damage mapping and reports for OEM approval. The company also plans non destructive testing based on the damage found.

MRO technical support covers aircraft structural repair engineering and repair scheme development. Reports follow the structural repair manual. The company also gives on site technical help and AOG support. Reverse engineering turns scans into accurate CAD models. Engineering consultancy covers structural design, stress and fatigue analysis, and finite element analysis. Portable X-ray radiography allows on site inspection with less need to remove parts.

MES is a preferred partner of Hexagon. It uses Hexagon tools such as laser trackers, scanners and portable measuring arms. Its work covers aviation, rail, automotive, insurance and construction. The company says it gives support around the world, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

The company is AS9100 accredited and certified to ISO 9001. The certifications are issued by BSI. MES was a founding member of the Aerospace Wales MRO Hub in 2023. In 2024 it won Wales Business of the Year and Innovative Business of the Year. In December 2024 it was named SME Business of the Year at the Franco-British Trade and Investment Awards.

The company invested in new technologies and specialist equipment in March 2025. It has customers in Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Its head office is in Newport, Wales.
