Measurement & Inspection
tant when measurements are related to performance attributes, like emissions that might be caused by wear in engines. “The product designer should know enough of the basics of metrol- ogy to know how to specify GD&T correctly,” he said. He points to a future where metrology as an engineering discipline will evolve, solving some of the problems of discon- nect between specified tolerance and measurement capabil- ity. Since metrology is woven into everything that manufactur- ing does, it is time to recognize it.
“I tell my students that the more exciting metrology jobs of the future are not as a CMM operator, but an engineer who programs and deploys measuring strategies across a manufacturing process,” he explained. “They will employ automation, platforms of CMMs, and CAD integration. This is a very different kind of job description. It is not someone programming or manually teaching a CMM how to measure, but a much more sophisticated individual deploying technol- ogy into manufacturing.” ME
