Abstract
The development of dimensional metrology technologies follows that of manufacturing technologies. In the past 20 years, manufacturing industry has endured drastic changes and so have dimensional metrology technologies. In this information era, manufacturing industries are essential parts of digital and virtual enterprise. Information sharing and cooperation is crucial for the survival of every company. Industrial metrology is the enabling technology for information sharing between real processes, real products and digital, virtual and smart factories. It allows real people to learn and to make decisions. In this chapter, research trends of dimensional metrology in the sequence of major manufacturing technology development are discussed first. Then, the standard and technology adoption lifecycle in the industry is briefly introduced to give the reader an overview of how industry receives new standards and technologies. Finally, the two emerging international standards for dimensional metrology systems are discussed and a summary is given.
