Experts in metrology and inspection at the Coventry-based Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) are hosting a free event that intends to help manufacturers improve their processes and product quality through the latest metrology innovations.

The ‘Focus on Metrology’ event on 27 November will highlight the latest research and thinking in metrology developed by the MTC, its academic partners and leading industrialists. Notably, the event will centre on the important collaborations driving metrology forward, as well as measurement and inspection technologies which can benefit UK manufacturers.
Speakers from a range of sectors will provide an industry perspective on how metrology and inspection techniques are helping to improve competitiveness, processes, and component quality.
“Inspection techniques are vital to high-value manufacturing and, when implemented properly, can mean that products are safer, stronger, and perform better than the competition,” says MTC technology director Ken Young.
