There are major technology disruptions afoot in the world of conventional portable metrology. For the better part a decade, 6DoF laser tracking has been the standard go-to technology for metrologists in the large-scale manufacturing sectors. 

Laser tracker technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the last 20 years. But experts say the biggest shift has actually been in thinking and how they are used.

3D measurement industry conference heads to Snowbird, UT in July.

Optical metrology is a standard in industry and research for quality assurance and materials testing.

Q-Mark Manufacturing announced an agreement with Dutch Diamond Technologies to distribute its solid and coated diamond spheres.

Ed Fiantaca, former owner and president, announced his retirement and full divestiture of ownership.

Rick Gaynor brings over 25 years of relevant experience in laboratory testing, electro-mechanical engineering and applications engineering to his new role, including 13 years as general manager of a metrology laboratory at Dayton T. Brown, Inc.

We’ve all heard it before. Someone says, “If you want my opinion...” and they give it to you even after you’ve told them you don’t want it.

Smart organizations are taking a holistic view of their manufacturing operation and a hard look at their inspection and quality practices. As technology has progressed, so has the manufacturer’s ability to closely align their unique needs and applications to the selection of a coordinate measurement machine (CMM).
