Due to the shape of dental implants, the thread measurement of the entire component surface is most challenging. Manufacturers have to reliably measure small structures & tolerances in fast cycle times.​

A shoulder implant consists of a glenosphere, a glenoid implant, peripheral screws, and a humeral stem. The measurement of narrow stem's freeform profile is the biggest metrological challenge for this type of implant.​

The full inspection of rods without datum references is the greatest difficulty in measuring spinal implants. For these implants, intervertebral discs are fixed by spinal rods and monoaxial pedicle screws.​

It is the low tolerance of multiple parts made of several materials that makes measurement of hip implants challenging. These implants are comprised of an acetabular cup, a polyethylene liner, a femoral head and a femoral stem.​

When measuring knee implants accurately, it is important to ensure that no white marks are left behind. A knee implant consists of metallic and plastic components.​

Bone screws and bone plates are used for implants in the field of trauma & extremities. The biggest metrology challenge of bone plates are multi-axis measurements of shallow bores on a freeform surface.​
