Manage episode 449794692 series 3417760
It's a Manufacturing Talks first: two family members on successive episodes! Last week we had nuclear expert Dan Malburg, and this week we've got his nephew Mark Malburg to tell us all about measuring surfaces.
Mark is President at Digital Metrology Solutions, and he's here to explain why a total geek-o-rama subject like surface metrology is actually vitally important for everyone. Here are some highlights:
3:30 - recognizing the business opportunity
4:30 - advice: keep your employer as your first customer
6:00 - what metrology is
9:30 - what surface attributes are needed for various applications
11:00 - ball bearing example
13:00 - the various measurement technologies
13:30 - why not frickin' lasers?
14;15 - 3D measuring
15:45 - how technology can be a thorn
17:00 - how numbers don't describe enough for surface measures
20:30 - the challenge of "seeing" beneath the surface
23:30 - a new challenge: 3D printing
25:30 - a coming challenge: getting data connected to what matters
28:30 - surfaces are art, not science
Yes, this one is a geek-fest for engineers like me. But it's also got very practical advice and education for anybody. Tune in and check out the whole thing!
