• Development of new 3D metrology systems up to 10 m both in measurement laboratory and production environmental conditions together with test facilities and associated test procedures
• Development of software for automatic evaluation of measurement uncertainties for new 3D measuring systems
• Design and manufacturing of complex 3D standards (freeform artefact, gear master, waviness artefact)
• Development of numerical standards and procedures for internet based software validation

Contributions towards the aim of the TP:

• Improve manufacturing capability by increasing the understanding of complex measurement systems.
• Provide input to standard specifications and to encourage best practice.
• Ensure traceability in 3D coordinate metrology for complex geometries and freeform surfaces.
• Improve interoperability and supply chain efficiency in high value industrial sectors.
• Extend the technological lead of EUROPEAN industry in the field of machine engineering, automotive and aircraft industry.
• Strengthen the EUROPEAN NMIs according to the EMRP roadmaps.
