Our History
Founded in 1985, for many years Bley Metrology existed as a separate division at Bley Engineering’s aerospace machining facility. Sven Bley, a third-generation engineer, took this division and turned it into what we know it as today: Made to Measure.
Since 2003, our company has grown and blossomed from its beginnings and accomplished background in the aerospace industry to become a leader in the dimensional inspection industry. Established as an industry leading metrology firm, we are expanding into the measuring equipment market, offering new and rebuilt CMMs, retrofitting services and training programs to help our customers improve their own quality assurance.
Our Metrologists make all the difference. Our highly-skilled staff have technical backgrounds in quality and metrology, and include mold makers, toolmakers, mechanical and manufacturing engineers—each perspective helping us better understand and communicate with our customers. With an established custom training program, pride in our work, and a complete commitment to quality technique and excellent customer service, we look forward to a bright future, embracing continual growth and development in the years to come!
"We manufacture aftermarket turbine engine aerospace parts. We not only use our CMMs for inspecting the very tight tolerance that we have to produce with our parts, but we also rely on them to reverse engineer OEM parts to manufacture. The AUKOM training we received at Made to Measure has helped our engineering staff understand how to get the correct results from our CMM for what we are trying to achieve. The training has also helped our quality staff understand how to inspect and evaluate results properly to meet the requirements of the print. The staff at Made to Measure are extremely knowledgeable and the training was very well presented."

“I couldn’t be happier with [Made to Measure]. They do great work for us.”
Sr., Molding Engineer, Commscope
“Learning the different ways that a CMM evaluates features on a part; least squares, minimum zone, max inscribed, and min circumscribed; and when to use which evaluation, has made a huge difference in the accuracy of our CMM programs after going through the AUKOM courses . Our CMM programs are now much more repeatable between users and even locations across the globe (China)”

"Thank you for the fine and fast work of all involved at Made to Measure to create this cap model. The model helped us create a new model and reproduce a new mold that is now producing parts locally."
J.H. Engineering Manager, Zeller Plastics
“We used to do everything in-house….but now that we‘re getting skinnied down to the point where you don’t have time to do it, we sought an outside service bureau. I couldn’t be happier with Made to Measure. They do great work for us.”
J.M., Sr. Molding Engineer
“Has anyone told you guys you’re awesome lately? The Made to Measure team makes it a pleasurable business experience.”
