Language: English; This seminar is open to the public.
Summary
There is increasing demand for quality assurance of highly-complex objects, for example, those produced using additive manufacturing. A priori information about the nominal geometry of the measured object and the operating principles of measurement techniques can used along with multi-sensor data fusion to improve system performance in terms of object coverage. More specifically, we will discuss several examples of surface form and texture measurement systems which combine metrology with elements of artificial intelligence to enable the efficient measurement of complex objects. Examples will be given from micro-manufacturing and additive manufacturing, including a push towards in-process metrology.
