The National Freeform Centre at NPL
The National Freeform Centre at NPL has a number of aims.
These are:

To provide evaluation and traceability for CMMs with tactile and non-contact probes, laser scanners, articulated arms, fringe projection systems, and point cloud processing software.
The development of freeform measurement standards, enabling best practice to be established.
To establish a NPL Freeform common interest group, offering metrology support, networking, meetings, industrial visits and both collaborative and marketing opportunities.
