metrology education resources

Hi everyone!

Last week, I stumbled on an extremely helpful link to some educational materials at NPL, which is a British organization. I wondered if everyone might be willing to share other resources for general metrology education resources? I'm tentatively putting together and orientation and evaluation for new operators at our place and would LOVE to have videos and papers for them to review if we find areas where they need to improve. It would be ideal if these materials were based in English measurement, not metric, since we measure in inches in our shop.

I'll start!

Hexagon Metrology U - mainly for learning things about our CMMs: https://www.hexagonmetrologyu.com/Default.asp?

National Public Laboratory - papers and guides for CMM and metrology: http://www.npl.co.uk/publications/guides/

Mitutoyo online educational materials - papers and guides explaining how precision measurement tools work and how to use them: http://www.mitutoyo.com/on-demand/

Hope this turns out helpful for everyone!

  • Then you should try reading the ISO-standard(s) - compared to them, ASME is a thrilling novel, with explanations!



    Yeh, the ISO standard does read like it was written by an upper class British man who once slept with his wife on their wedding night and they have been in separate rooms ever since. He also enjoys a tipple of sherry and collecting stamps.

    Another good resource I have used for pcdmis is https://www.cmmxyz.com/ they have some very good tutorial videos on there. I think it is more focused for the novice but still if it is something you are new to they are very helpful videos.
