About Microcre

Shanghai Microcre Optics-Mech Tech Co., Ltd., founded in 2005, designs and manufactures two instrument families. The optical line — autocollimators, vision measuring systems and industrial microscopes — answers how straight, how flat, how accurately angled and what the microstructure looks like. The material-performance line — hardness testers, universal testing machines, metallographic preparation and high-temperature indentation — answers how hard a material is, how long it lasts and when it fails, from room temperature up to 1600 °C.

Five core technologies remain in-house: optical systems, precision loading mechanisms, wide-temperature furnaces and thermal control, image acquisition and evaluation algorithms, and motion control with metrology software. That is what lets us build around a customer's specimen size, governing standard and line takt instead of simply assembling bought-in modules. R&D and manufacturing are both carried out in Shanghai: the Fengxian plant handles precision machining, optical alignment and final assembly under ISO9001:2015, with a metrology instrument manufacturing licence, 60+ IP rights and 16 further patents pending. The Shanghai "specialised and innovative" SME status (2024–2027) and National High-Tech Enterprise re-certification in 2025 (GR202531006563) sit alongside that work. We work with CAS institutes and universities, and support customers from seven service centres in China plus export partners worldwide.
