Computer-aided inspection (CAI) is the use of software tools to assess manufactured objects. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is closely related to computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Its primary purpose is to allow engineers to more quickly and precisely assess the physical properties of manufactured objects.
Metrology is the scientific study of measurement. [1] It establishes a common understanding of units, crucial in linking human activities. [2] Modern metrology has its roots in the French Revolution's political motivation to standardise
In metrology (the science of measurement), a standard (or etalon) is an object, system, or experiment that bears a defined relationship to a unit of measurement of a physical quantity. [1] Standards are the fundamental reference for a system of weights and measures , against which all other measuring devices are compared.
[6] This book is part of a series of inter-related manuals the AIAG controls and publishes, including: The measurement system analysis manual [7] The failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and Control Plan manual [8] The statistical process control (SPC) manual [9] The production part approval process (PPAP) manual [10]
Prints can be hand-drawn or automatically generated by a computer CAD model. However, computer-controlled measurement machines like coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and vision measuring machines (VMMs) can measure a part relative to a CAD model without the need for a print. Typically, this process is done to reverse engineer components.
Jan Gyllenbok (born 12 November 1963) is a Swedish author and expert on historical metrology with an academic background in engineering and computer science. He is known for his encyclopedia on historical systems of measurement units. [1]
The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...
