CMM LABORATORY

 
This laboratory has been established to enhance the research facility in the field of
metrology.  Coordinate measuring machine Model Contura G2 manufactured by Carl Zeiss has been
commissioned in the same year. Portable Coordinate measuring machine Model FARO FUSION
ARM manufactured by FARO has been commissioned in 2016 to support the research activity in the
field of Bio CAD. More number of Undergraduate students have been using this facility for their
project works.
Some of the research activities undergone are:
1. Selection of sampling points for evaluation of flatness using coordinate measuring machine
2. Efficient algorithm for roundness evaluation from coordinate measurement data
3. Investigation of influence of sampling size and sampling method in measurement of
cylindricity
4. Comparison of accuracy of flatness obtained by four sampling techniques using coordinate
measuring machine
