Composite materials are becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry due to their lightweight properties. Developing new composite material products quickly and efficiently is, therefore, the main objective of the manufacturing companies working in these industries.
Metrologic Group and Creaform entered into a partnership in which Creaform integrates Metrologic Group’s software suite with its new CUBE-R 3D automated dimensional inspection solution.
The platform aims to minimize overall delivery timing of custom automation, increase through-put, and reduce scrap through increased, 100% inspection and automated measurement.
The Radiant Vision Systems AR/VR lens is an optical component that can be mounted directly to a Radiant ProMetric imaging photometer or colorimeter for measuring the quality of near-eye displays (NEDs) integrated within virtual (VR), mixed (MR), and augmented reality (AR) headsets.
Currently, there’s not enough data for designers and manufacturers to accurately predict the performance of some additive-manufactured parts.

NIST’s Material Measurement Lab contributes to the measurement methods, standards, data, and models required to realize the full promise of additive manufacturing.
NIST researchers created a chip on which laser light interacts with a tiny cloud of atoms to serve as a miniature toolkit for measuring important quantities such as length with quantum precision. The design could be mass-produced with existing technology.
