Quality related in-process inspection/verification is an essential part of quality control in manufacturing.
This includes measuring, examining, testing, or gauging one or more characteristics of a product or process and comparing the results with specified requirements to determine whether is the requirements are met for each characteristic.<ref>{{cite web |title= Quality Glossary |url= http://asq.org/glossary/i.html |publisher= American Society for Quality (ASQ) |access-date=2015-02-20 }}</ref><ref>[[AS9100]] Revision C, Clause 7.6 Control of Monitoring and Measurement Equipment</ref>  Common examples of inspection by measurement or [[Gauge (instrument)|gauging]] include using a [[Calipers|caliper]] or [[Micrometer (device)|micrometer]] to determine if a dimension of a manufactured part is within the [[Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing|dimensional tolerance]] specified in a drawing for that part, and is thus acceptable for use.

[[Design for inspection]] (DFI) is a concept that should complement and work in collaboration with [[design for manufacturability]] (DFM) and [[design for assembly]] (DMA) to reduce product manufacturing cost and increase manufacturing practicality.

[[Photogrammetry]] is a modern way of visual inspection, delivering high accuracy and traceability for various industries. The portable 3D system is a versatile optical coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with a wide range of capabilities.  Highly accurate point measurements can be taken with inspection carried out directly to CAD models, geometry or drawings.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.physicaldigital.com/services/3d-scanning-services/|title=3D Scanning Services {{!}} Physical Digital|last=Ltd|first=Digital Parent Company|website=www.physicaldigital.com|access-date=2016-05-09}}</ref>(DFI)
