TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Intelligent, Rapid and Optimized Dimensional Inspection (IRODI) S-191488

IRODI s Maestro software integrates with your existing metrology tools to perform surface dimensional inspections of machined components. https://www.lanl.gov/engage/collaboration/feynman-center/tech-and-capability-search/irodi The Challenge: Manufacturers rely on precise dimensional inspections to meet engineering specifications; however, traditional methods are slow, create bottlenecks, and often rely on offsite measurements. The IRODI system is being developed to address these challenges by enabling real-time, in-process inspections on the production floor through the integration of optical scanning and the accuracy of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). How it Works: A key component of IRODI, the Maestro software, has been tested in a lab setting using CMMs and laser scanners to perform dimensional inspections of machined components. Maestro integrates with existing metrology tools to coordinate inspections, analyze measurement data, and optimize quality control. A key attribute for MAESTRO is significantly reduced time for small batch inspection. The full IRODI system is designed to automate inspection planning, enable on-machine inspection across both subtractive and additive processes, identify defects earlier, reduce rework, support real-time decision-making, and integrate seamlessly with current manufacturing environments. Key Advantages: Improve inspection coverage and accuracy Adaptive algorithms identify critical measurement points Enables dimensional validation both during manufacturing and the design phase Problems Solved: Identifies defects early to reduce waste Matches parts for optimal fit based on tolerance Aligns hardware and quality control processes Market Applications: Advanced Manufacturing Aerospace and Defense Automotive Medical Devices Nuclear and Energy Semiconductors Development Status: TRL 5 US Provisional Patent Application No., Docket No.: Patent pending, S-191488: Method and System for Efficient Inspection of Manufacturing Triad National Security, LLC / Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking a partner to commercialize the IRODI system through a technical collaboration under a CRADA or a license agreement to develop a commercial prototype and leverage LANL s intellectual property.
