Over the past decade, technological improvements have seen 3D laser scanning become an increasingly important alternative to tactile measurement in an expanding range of measurement applications.

Global electric vehicle (EV) sales have been growing steadily and are expected to reach more than 17 million vehicles in 2028.

American manufacturing is associated with high-quality standards that are meant to ensure both the reliability and longevity of the products produced.

We’ve been asked by customers how many decimal places are enough. It’s either because they want to maximize the resolution of their purchase or they expect far more resolution from the equipment than is reasonable.

Integrating 3D scanning technology into quality control processes can be challenging.

In this article, I’m looking at the relationship between capability index (Cpk or Ppk) and tolerance intervals.

One hundred years ago this month, Walter Shewhart wrote a memo that contained the first process behavior chart. In recognition of this centennial, this column reviews four different applications of the techniques that grew out of that memo.

Recently, you’ve probably seen the word quantum used everywhere—in computing, in names for tech companies, and maybe even for explanations of love and consciousness. 

Because I’m a microplastics researcher, my friends sometimes jokingly ask me, “How many microplastics do you think I consumed this week?”

The aerospace industry is constantly innovating and pushing the limits of what’s possible. This puts a lot of pressure on manufacturers to ensure their airplanes are top-notch in quality, safety, and efficiency.
