PRIOR to the outbreak of the war there were still a large number of engineering firms in this country which had not adopted systems of precision in the manufacture of component parts. War conditions ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...

REVIEW – I previously had the opportunity (several years ago) to review the Bosch GLM 50 C laser measuring tool. Six years later, it still works great and it is my go-to laser measuring tool. But ...

NC4+ Blue F100 models deliver repeatability of 0.1µ 2σ, enabling precise measurement of ultra-fine tools and early detection of defects as small as 5µ. NC4+ Blue F100 measuring a tool on machine with ...

Producing high quality precision parts is highly dependent on the accuracy of machine tools. Even parts which are not themselves machined often depend on machining to produce accurate moulds and jigs.

Architecture, engineering, designing – all these professions are often associated with ‘building the future’. Yet they rely on tools and instruments from over a century ago to get the job done. Meet ...
