DaceCrown Ltd. is proud to announce that we have successfully secured grant funding to support the purchase of our new Hexagon measuring arm — a major step forward in strengthening our in‑house 3D scanning and inspection capability.

This investment represents more than just cutting‑edge technology. It’s about building resilience, expanding opportunity, and reinforcing our Midlands identity.

Driving Innovation

The Hexagon arm allows us to deliver:

  • High‑accuracy measurement and inspection for complex components
  • Faster turnaround times with full control under our own roof

By bringing this capability in‑house, we’re able to offer greater precision and efficiency to clients across bottling, medical, and drinks sectors.

Creating Local Opportunities

The grant funding isn’t just about equipment — it’s about people. With this support, DaceCrown will be creating new jobs in the local area, ensuring that the benefits of investment are felt directly in our community. From apprenticeships to specialist roles, we’re committed to nurturing skills and progression right here in the Midlands.
