Portable 3D Metrology

Course description

This e-learning course explores the principles and equipment associated with portable 3D metrology. The course content is divided into five modules:

• Module 1: Principles of portable 3D measurement examines how locations in 3D space can be expressed using co-ordinate systems, approaches to measuring those locations, and why it is important
• Module 2: Measurement strategy planning outlines key aspects of good decision-making in the planning and carrying out of a measurement task
• Module 3: Portable co-ordinate measuring systems introduces some of the measuring systems that are used in portable 3D measurement and gives good practice guidance for their use
• Module 4: Measurement uncertainty, and gaining confidence in measurement explores the sources of uncertainty common to different measuring systems and examines methods that can be used to gain confidence in measurement results
• Module 5: A checklist for co-ordinate measurement introduces the checklist that accompanies the course; this checklist is designed to support the use of portable co-ordinate measuring systems
