Customers seem to have a greater understanding of metrology these days. This is good news for the industry, and for the Coordinate Metrology Society. We spoke with Justin Novak about the trends he's seen in his 20 years in the field. Justin is the current chair of the executive committee of the Coordinate Metrology Society as well as also the manager for Quality, Continuous Improvement, and Training for the Metrology group at Newport News Shipbuilding.

On this episode of Metrology Today, we go global with Sandeep Nair, founder and CEO of Metquay, whose software is helping commercial calibration labs around the world break out of the Excel rut. Sandeep's story is unlike any other: He started as a computer scientist in India, found his way into calibration by chance, and wound up building a platform that empowers labs to create their own uncertainty calculations, templates, and workflows—no “black box” required. Sandeep shares: His journey from services in India to running a tech company for metrology labs across Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and the U.S. Why most labs are still stuck in spreadsheets—and what it takes to break free How true software customization is changing the calibration business model The importance of data sharing, open APIs, and industry collaboration (and why holding your data too tightly might actually be a red flag!) How AI and modern software can help labs with quality, documentation, and even workforce training in a rapidly changing industry His vision for Metquay's unified measurement platform and what's coming next If you care about the intersection of technology, quality, and business—or just want a fresh perspective on the calibration world—this conversation will get you thinking.

Croom Precision Medical has selected Renishaw as its partner for additive manufacturing (AM) and metrology. It will use Renishaw technology throughout the production and validation of its ISO: 13485 certified medical devices. The company has found that using Renishaw's AM technology enables them to incorporate complex features into their implant designs at a commercially viable cost. They also note that Renishaw's integrated AM software, combined with its metrology solutions, helps them maintain traceability throughout their manufacturing process, which is vital in a heavily regulated environment. Background Croom Precision Medical (CPM) is at the forefront of Ireland's thriving medical device industry. Established in 1984, CPM has supplied Class I, II, and III medical devices to the orthopaedic market for over 35 years. Since these devices ultimately impact people's lives, it is crucial to implement rigorous quality procedures to ensure their safety and effectiveness during and after implantation. “We strive to achieve consistency and reliability in our manufactured products. CPM envisions becoming a centre of excellence for additive manufacturing in Ireland,” explains Patrick Byrnes, Research and Development Manager at CPM. CPM operates an integrated management system (IMS) that encompasses ISO: 9001, ISO: 13485, and ISO: 14001 accreditation. To demonstrate compliance with these standards, CPM must ensure transparency and traceability at every stage of the manufacturing process. Medical implant designs are rapidly advancing. Manufacturers are increasingly integrating novel and complex structures into these designs to enhance performance and longevity. However, creating such structures with traditional manufacturing techniques can be challenging and may not always be economically feasible. To evaluate the quality of parts, CPM conducts a series of offline tests to assess the implants' chemical, mechanical, and morphological properties. While these tests are essential for measuring the mechanical and chemical consistency of the implants, they can be time-consuming and can raise the overall cost per part. CPM's goal is to transform production so that more monitoring occurs during manufacturing. “We're looking for a red or green light, indicating whether the part is good or bad. Currently, we perform extensive offline testing, aiming to minimise it to reduce our cost of goods. We have made substantial progress in that direction over the past couple of years; there's still some work to be done, but we believe we are ahead of many of our competitors in the area of in-process monitoring,” Byrnes noted. Solution Emerging from the aerospace sector, Renishaw has a proven history of providing solutions that enhance manufacturing efficiency and part safety in highly regulated environments. CPM is applying Renishaw's technology in the medical sector for the same purpose. CPM has invested in a RenAM 500M additive manufacturing system, which it uses to 3D print medical devices in titanium. Renishaw's AM technology can create complex structures in a single manufacturing operation. For instance, CPM has begun to evaluate the use of gyroid lattices on acetabular cups, a design feature that was previously not economically feasible before their investment in AM. The resulting implants have undergone rigorous quality testing, and CPM reports notably good density and Young's Modulus values. In addition to the advanced manufacturing capabilities of AM, Byrnes emphasises that inline process monitoring is what truly sets apart Renishaw's technology and provides CPM with a competitive advantage: “The Renishaw software equips us with all the necessary information to ensure the quality of our parts, from build reports to post-processing, enabling us to trace our parts from beginning to end.” To promote quality and consistency, CPM has also selected Renishaw as its partner for precision metrology equipment, employing Renishaw technology at various stages of their testing and part validation. The team has long recognised Renishaw's reputation for producing reliable, robust metrology equipment: “When you visit multinational companies and see all the Renishaw products on the shop floor, they have a reputation for being repeatable, reliable, and capable of consistently operating in harsh environments,” commented Byrnes. CPM exemplifies how Renishaw can provide a comprehensive solution with technology that supports the manufacturing of technically ambitious parts and quality verification. Results CPM reports an increased market share, directly attributed to its investment in AM technology. “We have captured new market share in international markets, specifically in East Asia and North America, which were previously unattainable for us. Only in the last two years have these markets become accessible. We chose Renishaw as a development partner, not just as a supplier, envisioning the next few years as a strategic partnership to grow our additive manufacturing base here in Ireland.” Healthcare stands out as one of the leading industries for AM development. Although significant progress has already been made, ample room for growth still exists. CPM views Renishaw as a strategic partner in advancing AM technology. Byrnes adds, “Approaching AM for us has been a journey; it's an entirely different way of thinking. It's a more laboratory-like environment, a more cognitive approach to the process as opposed to conventional engineering.” In the coming years, CPM will continue to leverage the knowledge gained from its rigorous development programs and collaborate closely with customers and regulatory bodies to advance additive manufacturing technology and support enhancements in healthcare.

If you can measure it, you can manage it. One of Kenya's metrology heavyweights speaks to Georja Calvin-Smith about how there is might in monitoring. There were no African signatories when 17 countries came together 150 years ago to set measurement standards for time, distance and weight, but as the continent's development has picked up pace, so has its contribution to global metrology.

More details have emerged on the Department of Defense's Deferred Resignation Program. According to a new memo, the DOD will offer the program to eligible DOD civilian employees for a week between April 7 and 14. Voluntary early retirement authority will also be offered. The initiatives, ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, come as the Pentagon is looking to reduce its reduce civilian workforce and implement the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts. Jules Hurst III, acting undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, wrote in an April 1 memo that the DRP provides a “generous opportunity for employees to enter a paid leave status for several months, prior to resigning or retiring,” adding that employees pending approval or approved for the program will not be subject to return to in-person work requirements. A bipartisan bill that would establish a nonprofit foundation aimed at boosting private-sector partnerships at the National Institute of Standards and Technology was reintroduced in the House and the Senate on Tuesday. The Expanding Partnerships for Innovation and Competitiveness (EPIC) Act would create a Foundation for Standards and Metrology at the Department of Commerce, which would be focused on fostering collaborations with academia, industry, and other organizations. That new foundation would ultimately help supplement NIST's funding and — according to a release shared with FedScoop in advance of the Wednesday announcement — make the path to commercializing technologies developed by the agency easier.

Host Anand Jagatia tackles gravity - a fundamental force of the universe yet also an everyday mystery that has baffled several listeners. Can you outrun it? Or at least use it to get fitter? If it varies, does that mean that you weigh less, depending on where on earth you stand? And if it's the force of attraction between any objects with mass, are you technically more attractive after eating a massive cake? Professor Claudia de Rham from Imperial College London explains the basics of gravity, while we discover the best place on earth to weight ourselves, with Professor Paddy Regan from Surrey University and NPL Fellow in Nuclear and Radiation Science and Metrology. Anand takes a very fast spin on a special chair to experience extra gravity, thanks to Professor Floris Wuyts from the University of Antwerp, Kings College London and Minister of Science of Asgardia. And finally, we talk to an expert lined up at the other end of a hypothetical hole through the earth: Professor Richard Easther from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. What would happen if we fell straight through the earth? CrowdScience finds gravity a force to be reckoned with.

Countless measurements are made daily to ensure "quality" work, and behind all these measurements is the theory and practice of metrology. Have you ever wondered how you know your measurements are good? From the pipes and machinery running on every industrial site and building to medicine and electronics, what you measure matters. Even more so often is the theory behind it and how and why we make those measurements. Today we're joined with Robert Mims from ThermoTemp to discuss metrology.

We tackle a long and detailed article from ancient-origins.net about a possible discovery of a new standard of measure that appears to have been used in many ways across multiple civilizations and structures going back 7,000 years. We're taking a break from the book report this week, as Russ is gone to help with Randall's Middle Cumberland tour at the last minute, so we pre-recorded this episode before he left.
