euspen is delighted to partner with the National Physical Laboratory UK to bring you this meeting. NPL is the UK's National Measurement Institute and a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards, science and technology available.

Structured and freeform surfaces are of growing importance …

NPL has recently completed a project to allow industry to benefit from the use of areal surface topography measurement to enhance a range of high-value products. The surface topography of a component part can have a profound effect on the function of the part. In tribology, it is the surface …

Interesting article here published in the latest edition of Micromanufacturing magazine.

The concusion to this article about standardisation in MEMS manufacturing sounds a lot like 4M's own "toolbox of technologies" don't you think?

Venue
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) which is situated 20 km south-west of central London and close to the historic Royal Palace of Hampton Court.

This conference focuses on the progress made in surface metrology, surface characterisation instrumentation and properties of engineering surfaces.

The topics covered include:

• Surface, Micro and Nano …

Alicona Imaging GmbH have pioneered a new optical measurement technique that allows in-depth metrology of 3-D surfaces in the micro and nano range, and meets the ISO 25178 standard for topographical measurement. Full story on micromanufacturing.com.

A call for potential metrology research topics on EMRP is open now to any entity or individual. The deadline for submissions is 28th March 2010.

More information can be found on the EMRP webpages.
