Netca Series #2 - /metrology

​📐 Measure Twice, Cut Once!

​Nothing is as devastating as when a batch of parts comes back from the shop and nothing fits. Measurement is what separates a working prototype from a part you can actually manufacture.

​About this session

​This is an interactive session. Tim Henthorne and Brian Kelly will walk through GD&T callouts and show you how to measure each one on real parts. Bring a part if you have one, we'll measure it together.

​About the speakers
