A team of NIST researchers, including Srivalli Telikepalli (shown here), developed a standard reference material that will help biopharmaceutical companies better detect these particles in their drug products.
A rapidly growing category of drugs called protein-based biotherapeutics can be used to treat cancers and genetic and autoimmune disorders.
The Bott Group speeds up its 3D measurement processes for in-vehicle fittings thanks to the HandySCAN 3D|MAX Series
The Bott Group designs vehicle and operating equipment as well as workplace systems.
My grandfather was a carpenter, so growing up I often heard the adage, “Be sure to measure twice so you only have to cut once.” The saying is also attributed to tailors—you have to make sure your measurements are correct before you cut the fabric.
CNC machine tool calibration is essential for machining precision and process reliability. Even a well-built CNC machine will gradually drift out of alignment due to everyday wear and environmental factors, leading to deviations in accuracy.
Quality Digest attended the 2025 Hexagon Live event in Las Vegas in June—and with that came the opportunity to speak with the great minds, creators, innovators, and sales teams of Hexagon.
There are endless variations in the dials used on mechanical dial indicators. In most cases, though, they can be broken down into two distinct styles: balanced and continuous. Let’s look at both.
The precise recording of passenger numbers is essential for transport companies—it helps optimize timetables, make better use of capacities, and organize local public transport more efficiently.
The built-in Creaform OS 3D scanning software provides real-time visualization of components that have been captured.
Brosius GmbH is a trusted partner in metal processing for a wide range of companies in the mechanical and plant engineering industries, offering comprehensive services under one roof.
Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other electronics. But the pace of innovation is limited by the speed at which researchers can manually measure important material properties.
