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.
The Metrology Solutions Expo is focused 100% on metrology technologies, instruments, systems and automation engineering in industrial manufacturing applications, making it the only trade show of its kind in the southeast.
