The partner, Numetrix Technologies Inc., is known worldwide for its innovative 3D digitizer technology. Theydeveloped and commercialized a fast 3D digitizer platform with consecutive image acquisition as fast as 50microseconds, about 4000 times quicker than the closest competitor. Currently this technology is integrated inproducts aimed to the automotive market for tire inspection. The image quality of Numetrix Technology is nowlimited by its capacity to calibrate accurately the digitizers. If Numetrix could overcome this limitation, theycould grow their market up to inspect 100% of the tires of a plantLaser high precision micromachining methodology opens wide-range new possibilities in microfabrication ofmetals, polymers, semiconductors, ultrahard materials for automotive, pharmaceutical and healthcareindustries. The aim of this Engage Grants project entitled "Fabrication process development for 3D digitizercalibration surfaces" is to develop a high precision calibration reference plane that Numetrix will use tocalibrate their 3D digitizers.This research and development on laser based technologies will be performed in the Laser Processing andPlasmonics Laboratory (LP2L, Ecole Polytechnique) under supervision of Professor M. Meunier. The applicanthas a vast expertise on laser interaction with materials and processing of advanced materials and nanomaterials.The potential of generating economic benefits to Canada from this research project could be considerable as itwill establish Numetrix in its leader position at 3D inspection of tires and cars body sealing and will allow tomove their technology to a new fields of applications.

合作伙伴Numetrix Technologies Inc.以其创新的3D数字化技术而闻名全球。他们开发并商业化了一种快速3D数字化平台，其连续图像采集速度高达50微秒，比最接近的竞争对手快约4000倍。目前，这项技术被集成到针对汽车市场的轮胎检测产品中。Numetrix Technology的图像质量现在受到其精确校准数字化仪的能力的限制。如果Numetrix能够克服这一限制，他们的市场可以扩大到100%检测工厂的轮胎激光高精度微加工方法在金属、聚合物、半导体、汽车、制药和医疗行业的超硬材料的微制造中开辟了广泛的新可能性。这项名为“3D数字校准表面制造工艺开发”的项目旨在开发一种高精度的校准参考平面，Numetrix将使用该平面来校准他们的3D数字仪器。这项基于激光的技术的研究和开发将在激光加工和等离子体实验室(LP2L，Ecole Polytech)进行，由M.Meunier教授监督。该应用程序在激光与材料的相互作用以及先进材料和纳米材料的加工方面拥有丰富的专业知识。这项研究项目可能会为加拿大带来可观的经济效益，因为它将确立Numetrix在轮胎和车身密封3D检测方面的领先地位，并将他们的技术转移到一个新的应用领域。
