Metrology
Our Research
We combine our expertise in materials forensics and characterisation to assist a range of sectors, from automotive to the health care industry. Ensuring the latest technologies for product evaluation are implemented in a practical and creative way, to cut cost and add value.
Our multi-disciplinary research team aims to provide real-world solutions for various business sectors, from automotive engineering to the medical industry by providing their expertise in:
- Metrology
- CT Scanning
- Visualisation
Metrology
Metrology is the science of measurement and is a key enabler of modern, high value manufacturing processes. The ability to assess manufacturing quality accurately and traceably, while identifying and resolving issues as early as possible, is a critical aspect of new product development.
3D scanning
3D scanning allows the detailed examination of products, heritage specimens, legacy parts for reverse engineering, material characterisation, forensic examination and preservation. Laser scanning, X-ray Computed Tomography and Photogrammetry are technologies/process we use.
Applied visualisation
Applied visualisation encompasses a range of visual and in some cases, multi-modal communication technologies, including virtual and augmented reality. We utilise a range of media from portable/wearable technologies, through to large displays and projection systems. We aim to improve the communication of and interaction with digital data from a variety of sources, including scanned/ captured and digitally created.
