Form Measurement: Back to Basics
Form is a relatively easy thing to measure in many senses. In the simplest manner, form measurement involves a probe or stylus being moved along an ideal circular or linear path to gather data on the probe movements relative to that ideal geometry. The analysis is usually pretty straightforward; the measured data points are filtered and mathematical operations are performed to ascertain the results.
Metrology: The Science of Correct Decision Making
We need to have the ability to collect and analyze data in order to come to the correct conclusion.
