One Measurement Device from Design to Quality Control In today’s competitive marketplace, automotive, household, cosmetic, and consumer electronics brands continue to specify increasingly complex materials and special effect finishes to differentiate their products. However, for manufacturers who must reproduce consistent color across adjacent parts in distributed supply chains, measuring color with a standard spectrophotometer cannot accurately evaluate the appearance of sparkle, coarseness, and complex texture effects. With twelve angles of measurement and an on-board color calibrated RGB camera,...

Create a Digital Workflow for Complex Materials MA-T12 can connect to two different software solutions to move customers into a more data-driven and sustainable workflow for measuring and managing complex materials. Industrial Designers, Product Engineers and Material suppliers can use an MA-T12 with Pantora Appearance software to virtualize color and appearance during product development while supply chain partners can use MA-T12 with EFX QC software to ensure they are meeting customer expectations.
