Thank you for this information! After 13 years, at what I thought, and hoped would be my career in an unrelated field..... I, and my department, are being let go at the end of next month. Yesterday, one of the manufacturing heads came to my desk and told me he wants me to apply for an open metrology position That will be posted at the end of the month. No guarantees and there will be other people applying. This is helping me. Thank you!
The process shouldn't rely trial-and-error after parts are made, it should be based on tolerance analysis during the design phase. You outline the functional requirements (eg cylinder must fit into bore) and sources of variation (eg feature sizes/position/orientation, assembly, temperature variation) to determine what tolerances are required to meet these requirements. You then work with your manufacturer to see whether they can measure these dimensions and hit these tolerances. Adjust your design if they can't, or make compromises (eg more precise processes, changes to the product size/performance, or accepted yield fallout). You note that a high-precision part doesn't need every dimension to be tight-tolerance, but in addition - forethought can be given before any prototypes are even built, massively reducing the number of trial/error cycles of design & manufacture.
Guys I am a metrology student in Tanzania at cbe college is there any means of me getting contacts of my fellow metrologist so that we can share details and opportunities
Awesome stuff! Great system and product!
Equipamento top pode confiar, profissionais com seriedades 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video, thanks ❤
Hi I have accuracy issue with all my diameter measurement. How can I adjust?
As a middle school engineering teacher who is 2 meters tall and wears a size 16 shoe (username checks out) I really enjoyed this video.
any recent video please
Very good presentation. Thank you
Great video :)
your screen recorder is not capturing any dialogs.
I have an SJ 3-10 and I’m getting an OVER RANGE warning on my display? Any advice?
Hi, I have a question about metrology for a video I'm working on, any way I could get ahold of you? email, Instagram, Twitter... Thanks!
I'm currently studying metrology and everybody is like so you can predict the weather 🤦🏽♂️ found it funny when u noted that out😅😅
I never realized how important metrology is, until I asked my dad who worked in metrology for over 50 years. Every electronic part he’s put together and calibrated has gone on to make so many things such as military equipment, cars, phones, anything you can think of. Metrology and metrologists are so under appreciated and if it were not for me majoring in Chemistry I would’ve definitely gone for Metrology had my college offered it ❤
nice instructions but hard to understand when it doesnt show the windows.
I need symmetry measurement...think you can help?
This is my new favorite channel 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Awesome job guys!!
Can you show us a video of how to measure straightness and flatness in ZONE3? Thanks
As a professor of manufacturing teaching metrology I find these video quite useful, there is always uncertainty in any measurement but if it meets design tolerances/specifications that's what matters. No such thing as perfect, great video series.
Very helpfull video for me🙌♥️
Can you guys please do a video on adding and setting up a probe rack for TP20 probes?
Can you add volume to this.
Thank you
hello.. firstly I would like to thank you for sharing your experience with the use of the Zone3 software..and I would also like to suggest if you could show us how to work with some functions such as concentricity, circularity measurement. I thank you in advance for your attention.
👍
I am a metrologist for biotech. I calibrate the balances, check the RPM's of the centrifuges and measure different gas pressure and levels etcetera across a lot of different equipment's and environments. I wouldn't call myself a scientist or engineer because I measure these things against set standards by either our QA or industry standards but I am well aware that our nerds wouldn't be able to do their jobs without me getting readings from my equipment that is being routinely calibrated by my superiors in the field of metrology who are at least one step closer to using universal constants instead of measurement readouts on their trusted devices like I do.
When you changed from Ptentry to Featurefinder i could not how you did that could you explain how that was done?
Upon printing I get a message to say CMLL10.dll is missing. Any Idea where this should go?
S'il vous plaît comment corriger le problème de scanne non connecté et le programme non fonctionne
PLEASE SHOW HOW TO MEASUREMENT AND ALIGNMENT
I believe that if you drag your line tool in the material (the dark bit of the image) rather than in the negative space, the feature finder will orient the scan direction from dark to light, so you don't have to change direction.
I understand it's a big "it depends" but I'm curious how much, roughly, a system like this costs. I operate this exact model in the shop I work at.
Great content man. First two Zone 3 vids were very helpful. My experience is Calypso, MCOSMOS, MM3D, and now Zone 3. Godd luck! Daniel
Is there a good probing strategy for measuring a group of pins(connector) formed in a circular manner were there isn't very much clearance between pins and the path generation brings you really close to the adjoining pins?
Great question! Unfortunately, our ZONE3 expert is unable to give much insight here without seeing the print or parts. That said, he's more than happy to try and help if you'd like to shoot him an email! Feel free to reach out to mike.shadick@pqi.net
As a metrologist I often feel underappreciated and belittled by the engineers who would all be dead in the water without my services. It makes me happy to see some appreciation for the field 😊😊😊

The shop I work for we have no cmm machnlines just calipers , micrometers and weight gauge. So what would I use as a master calibration tool, gage blocks?
If you are using Gage Blocks you need to make sure they are a Grade 0 as these are what is needed to calibrate micrometers & calipers (ASME B89 standards) if you do not have a Master Gage checker.
This was a good video , thanks 👍
How often is a calibration required?
Great question! We recommend calibrating/verifying your probe tips every week or so, but this will vary significantly based on your tolerances, uses, and specific needs. The tighter your tolerances, the more often you should verify your tips, and the looser those tolerances, the less often this is necessary.
Can you do a video on importing a PMI file and how to set it up?
Could this product to measure mold surface?
As a new ZONE3 user, this is helpful, please produce more training videos :--)
Can i measure thickness of the material from the software?
How much prize
