Perfil Alumínio has implemented Scan Fit & Measure to make its aluminium profile inspections faster and more efficient while reducing the possibility of human error.

The company has always maintained effective quality-control processes, but it continues to search for new technologies that can improve the way its products are inspected. Together with EngView, Perfil identified Scan Fit & Measure as a solution that could support this goal.

Faster Profile Inspection

With Scan Fit & Measure, Perfil can inspect multiple cavities produced by the same extrusion die with greater speed. The technology also enables the quality team to control more dimensions with less manual effort.

This helps Perfil perform quality inspections more efficiently and obtain detailed information about the profile geometry during the measurement process.

Reverse Engineering from a Physical Sample

One of the capabilities that particularly stands out for Perfil is reverse engineering.

Using a physical profile sample, the team can create a detailed digital drawing and export it in DWG format. This gives Perfil a faster way to obtain accurate profile geometry when working from an existing sample.

Customer Testimonial

“Our quality control has always been very effective, but Perfil continues to search for technologies that can make it even more efficient and further reduce the possibility of human error.With Scan Fit & Measure, we can inspect multiple cavities from the same extrusion die much faster and control more dimensions with less effort. One feature that particularly stands out is reverse engineering. With a simple sample, we can create a high-quality DWG drawing.”

— Daniel Palma, Quality Coordinator at Perfil Alumínio

Innovation and Technology

Innovation and technology are part of Perfil’s DNA. By introducing Scan Fit & Measure, the company has invested in an advanced solution for aluminium profile quality control.

Perfil is also the first company in Brazil to work with this technology.

About Perfil Alumínio

Perfil Alumínio was founded in 1995 and began its activities by distributing aluminium profiles. After identifying new market needs, the company developed exclusive, high-standard construction systems.

Today, Perfil operates on a 250,000 m² site with two 7-inch direct extrusion presses and a modern vertical electrostatic powder-coating line.

About Scan Fit & Measure

Scan Fit & Measure helps manufacturers inspect aluminium profiles faster and control more dimensions with less manual effort. It also supports reverse engineering, allowing physical profile samples to be converted into detailed DWG drawings.

Tecnoglass uses the SFM measurement system at its Barranquilla plant to support fast and accurate quality control for aluminum extrusion profiles. According to Alexis Ortiz, Quality Engineer at Tecnoglass, the system helps the team inspect profiles for glass windows and doors in record time.

With SFM, engineers create measurement plans with the required dimensions and tolerances. The system then compares those plans with the scanned image of the profile and provides actual measurements immediately. This allows the Tecnoglass team to visually check the profile, identify out-of-tolerance areas, and improve accuracy across the quality control process.

Customer Testimonial

“The SFM measurement system helps us control the quality of all the profiling we do in record time. It’s very user friendly and easy to visually check the plans and see what measurements are off tolerance immediately.” - Alexis Ortiz, Quality Engineer at Tecnoglass

About Tecnoglass
Tecnoglass is a leading manufacturer of architectural glass and associated aluminum and vinyl products for global commercial and residential construction markets. Since 1983, the company has focused on improving glass and window quality, strength, and durability. Its brands, including Tecnoglass, ES, and Alutions, operate through a fully integrated production facility that supports single-source responsibility across its products.

About Scan, Fit and Measure
In this case study, SFM helps Tecnoglass make aluminum profile inspection faster, easier, and more accurate. The system allows engineers to create measurement plans, scan the profile, compare the scanned image to the required dimensions, and quickly identify measurements that are out of tolerance. With network-connected computers, teams can share inspection information efficiently and support a more controlled quality process.

Paramount Extrusions has been using the SFM machine to support inspection of aluminum extrusions and improve how quality information is shared with customers. Instead of relying only on manual tools, the team can now scan a product, generate a report, and show customers clear tolerance information.

For Paramount, this has changed the way quality and sales teams communicate with customers. The SFM system helps them explain difficult profile issues, review tolerances, and have more accurate conversations about what needs to be adjusted or improved.

Customer Testimonial

“It’s been awesome. The technology that we have now with the SFM machine allows our service to our customers to be so much different than it used to be.” - Mike, Paramount customer representative

About Paramount Extrusions
Paramount Extrusions is an aluminum extrusion company with more than 70 years of experience. The company specializes in custom aluminum extrusions, including simple shapes, complex hollows, and highly customized profiles. Paramount supports customers from profile development to extrusion, fabrication, and finishing, with a strong focus on precision and partnership.

About Scan, Fit and Measure
In this case study, SFM helps Paramount move from manual inspection methods like calipers and radius gauges to a more digital and report-based quality process. The system scans the profile, compares it to the CAD model, and creates clear measurement reports that can be used by quality teams, sales teams, and customers.
