Relevance of Dimensional Metrology in Manufacturing Industries

Measurement is the most fundamental concept of science and technology that leads to innovations. As per the general concept, measurement is just a tool to determine quantity, whereas in reality, measurement is a fundamental aspect to control and improve various parameters associated with different technical affairs. In the present scenario, the manufacturing of extremely complexed products needs high quality control to meet the design specifications, desired functional outcomes and norm compliances. In industrial manufacturing, the main objective is quality control by eliminating errors and improving the process by precision dimensional measurement methods/devices and following standards and recommended guidelines. Precision and traceable dimensional metrology caters the industry needs ranging from macro-engineering applications to nanotechnology and helps in supporting the objective "make it right in the first time" and hence has become an inextricable part of the advance manufacturing industry.
