The stadium came alive with some of the industry’s leading metrology companies, Faro, Manchester Metrology, Optimax and Renishaw, all of whom brought their metrology, 3D scanning, Faro arms and reverse engineering equipment.
Attended by over 65 leading engineering firms from across the North West, the event offered visitors the opportunity to discuss the latest technology and innovation surrounding the metrology sector. Metrology technologies were showcased through live demonstrations and visitors were encouraged to bring along parts to be measured with a complete measurement report produced on the day.
Paul Bulman, managing director of local firm Manchester Metrology commented: “It was really great to see such a broad range of engineering firms in attendance, confirming the growth and stability of manufacturing in the region.”
