Precision manufacturing workshop: Tackling dimensional measurement

Dimensional measurement poses a huge challenge for UK manufacturers. Even features that seem simple to measure - like a cylindrical hole - can lead to inconsistent results across the supply chain due to differences in metrology methods used. These inconsistencies cost time, money and affect trust, as well as compromising interoperability.

This workshop, hosted by the National Physical Laboratory’s (NPL) Manufacturers Measurement Network in collaboration with West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services (WYMS), is designed to help manufacturers overcome these challenges. Through a guided roundtable format, we will:

• Explore real-world measurement issues using non-proprietary drawings
• Discuss best practice strategies for dimensional measurement and tolerancing
• Provide context on international standards such as ISO 1101 and ASME Y14.5, which define how tolerances are specified on drawings to ensure parts function correctly
• Gather your input to influence national research and future standards development

Why attend?

• Gain practical knowledge to improve measurement processes
• Reduce waste and drive continuity across your supply chain
• Network with peers and contribute to a growing Special Interest Group
• Influence future standards and access funding opportunities

Join our collaborative workshop where your toughest dimensional measurement questions will be answered, and your input will directly shape national standards and future research. This is your opportunity to influence best practice across the UK manufacturing supply chain while gaining actionable insights to take back to your business.

Ideal for manufacturers in sectors such as oil, chemical engineering, automation, vehicle manufacturing, and general engineering.
