For nearly 30 years the KOTEM team has made the science of Metrology and the study of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing their passion and life’s work. Today GD&T is the worldwide standard for design dimensioning, and its correct application with KOTEM software enables advanced manufacturers to reduce costs and improve quality across their supply chains.

In today’s increasingly complex global manufacturing environments GD&T is the universal language of precision manufacturing. A clear understanding of dimensions and tolerances enables suppliers and customers around the world to do business efficiently. KOTEM dimensional analysis software provides essential tools that leverage the power of GD&T.

KOTEM is a leading supplier of advanced software for evaluation and fitting of measurement data, functional GD&T evaluation, and 3D best fitting solutions. KOTEM products are used by a wide range of manufacturers to design and fabricate precision components with verified tolerances.

KOTEM EVOLVE software enables manufacturers to shorten new product development time by quickly integrating dimensional measurement feedback into the digital design and manufacturing workflow.

KOTEM History

KOTEM started in 1992 as a software company that specialized in dimensional metrology. Over the first several years the company won contracts with measurement machine manufacturers to develop private labeled (OEM), metrologically correct software. The company also sold its software directly to manufacturers of tight tolerance parts that required the best software tools.

As the business grew our team grew, from the original three founders to a skilled team of more than 30 people.

Became part of QVI

In 2005 KOTEM became a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Vision International Inc. (QVI®), a leading supplier of multisensor CMMs for industrial quality control. QVI is a 75 year-old private company with headquarters in Rochester, New York, USA.

Under QVI leadership KOTEM has expanded our headquarters in Budapest, Hungary and developed a worldwide sales and support team.

Today KOTEM is a world-leading expert in GD&T evaluation, best fitting, and assembly analysis. Our products comply with recognized standards. Several KOTEM employees serve as members of the ISO/TC213 GPS and ASME B89.7 committees which establish worldwide standards for dimensioning and tolerancing.
