Our capabilities

Ensuring measurement certainty across development, validation, and production.

Right from early concept phases through to full scale production, precise measurement, material understanding, and functional validation are critical to protecting design intent and ensuring compliance. The Quvara med-tech hub has invested for more than 30 years in world class equipment, experienced staff, and robust processes—providing fast, repeatable, and trusted data that accelerate programme outcomes and reduce uncertainty.

When dimensional accuracy drives decisions, we provide comprehensive x-ray, optical and mechanical measurement
Consistent Accuracy

Highly regulated medical device programmes depend on robust measurement to prevent  late stage issues, scope drift, and design ambiguity. Our integrated systems ensure consistent, accurate and high integrity dimensional outputs.

24/7 Laboratory incorporating:

  • High volume automated CT scanning for non contact dimensional measurement, CAD comparison, and internal feature visibility.
  • Touch probe and optical CMMs for consistent, automated part inspection.
  • Automated programs and structured data outputs that guarantee repeatability and integrity across large datasets.
  • Deep metrology expertise applied to GD&T interpretation, failure analysis, and rapid problem diagnosis.

This ensures fast, trusted dimensional clarity that keeps teams aligned and prevents late discovery of risk.

When materials must perform consistently, we validate material behaviour from first principles
Materials Expertise

Material variability can easily become a hidden source of functional and dimensional instability. Our onsite material testing capabilities reveal insights early and support data driven root cause analysis.

  • Material identification, property evaluation, and assessment of combination systems.
  • Thermal and rheological analysis to understand polymer behaviour and stability.
  • Objective, repeatable material-level methods supporting root cause analysis across moulding and assembly.
  • Integrated workflows linking material data with design inputs, process parameters, and functional performance.

This ensures material stability is understood, controlled, and aligned with design and process requirements from the start.

When functionality must be proven, we test reality, not assumptions
Functional Testing Laboratory

Functional performance must be validated under representative stresses, movements, and deterioration pathways. Our in-house functional testing enables rapid, reliable evaluation of mechanisms and assemblies.

  • Tension, compression, and torsion testing to quantify functional behaviour and identify failure modes.
  • Aging and resilience testing to evaluate longterm performance and durability.
  • Clear, objective pass/fail criteria aligned with design inputs and measurement readiness.
  • Integrated analysis linking functional performance with dimensional and material insights.

This ensures functional intent is verified early, reducing redesign loops and strengthening overall programme readiness.

When the problem is complex, we apply decades of metrology expertise
Highly Experienced Team

Metrology at Quvara extends far beyond measurement. Our team integrates engineering interpretation, statistical insight, and multidisciplinary problem solving to diagnose issues and stabilise processes.

  • Measurement System Analysis (MSA), equivalency, and bias studies ensuring measurement confidence.
  • Statistical Process Control (SPC) and data driven diagnostics to reveal trends and variability drivers.
  • In-house fixture design and manufacture for precise orientation, repeatability, and inspection control.
  • Determination of visual characteristics and correlation to process variables for faster resolution of cosmetic and dimensional issues.

This ensures complex problems are resolved quickly, with data driven understanding and stable, repeatable outcomes.
