Measurement devices must be calibrated regularly to ensure they perform their jobs properly. While calibration covers a wide range of applications and scenarios, the goal is simple: ensure your device is measuring to your standards.

The quality norms of the past are being shattered by another evolution of CMM technologies arriving on the scene. The reason? Manufacturing is changing at its core. 

Digital reverse engineering (RE) as a concept has exploded in recent years due to advances in technology and a growing awareness of best practices among manufacturers. 

For quality inspection, the key is developing a system that can reliably deliver product that is free of defects, and to do that it requires careful software selection.

Digital gaging, involving the software and hardware used to capture and process digital measurements, has grown dramatically in the past two decades. It has also made quality more efficient and effective.

The past year has taken a toll on companies that have had to shift gears and innovate in order to remain afloat, serve customers and quickly pivot to meet a changing situation. I

Quality is a non-negotiable point in manufacturing, especially when it comes to aerospace and defense parts.
