UCL-Brazil International Collaboration Workshop in Advanced Metrology and Large Structures Testing

便携式3D计量是这里感兴趣的基本技术，它允许测量工具被带到被测量对象上，并且可以处理动态情况。由于其灵活的性质，这些工具提供了相当大的范围，以扩大计量的应用，反过来，进一步推动其发展。在过去的25年中，动态跟踪激光测距仪和高度自动化的视觉测量系统取得了重大发展。另一个计量驱动因素是工业4.0，这是一种源于德国的工业哲学或新工业革命。它描述了制造技术中自动化和数据交换的当前趋势，以及向智能工厂的转变。计量学是一个经常被研究资助项目忽略的主题，尽管它的经济影响已经产生了全球200多家3D系统制造商，200多家3D计量服务公司和一系列最终用户，包括空客，波音，巴西航空工业公司，美国宇航局，福特，奥迪，宝马，大众，通用电气，库卡和欧洲核研究中心。建立一个工业界和学术界合作伙伴的在线网络将大大提高通过研究资助更容易利用这些机会的能力。合作知识转移，例如通过公共网站，将增加这些机构应用和发展三维计量的能力，从而使各方受益。通过向感兴趣的公众推广他们的设施和集中他们的集体专业知识，这些团体可以增加识别3D计量特定问题的范围。这将增加对他们个人和集体研究的影响，从而鼓励与商业和工业伙伴进一步联系。计划于2017年9月对巴西进行为期10天的探索性访问，由新的ISI SIM和LGI研究所主办，届时将评估合作和信息交流领域。此次访问将暂时与9月19日至22日在Joinville举行的全国移动工程大会重叠，该大会吸引了来自巴西各地的工程专业学生。该地点也是LGI基地。因此，伦敦大学学院和主办机构将利用这个机会向巴西广泛的学术观众介绍3D计量学。主办机构还将帮助促进与巴西工业的讨论，以便确定可以应用和发展计量学的领域。ISI SIM和LGI与造船，航空航天，汽车和模具行业有联系，并建议参观巴西航空工业公司，圣保罗和Joinville附近的NAVSHIP造船厂。还建议在ISI SIM基地<s:1> o Leopoldo举办研讨会，向巴西当地工业介绍3D计量。ISI SIM和LGI的团队很好地支持这些研讨会和演示系统以及相关项目工作。

Portable 3D metrology, which allows measurement tools to be brought to the measured objects and which can handle dynamic situations, is the essential technology of interest here. Due to their flexible nature, these tools offer considerable scope to expand the application of metrology which, in turn, further drives its development. The past 25 years have seen major developments such as dynamically tracking laser range finders and highly automated vision metrology systems. Another metrology driver is Industry 4.0, an industrial philosophy or new industrial revolution stemming from Germany. It describes the current trend for automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and the move towards smart factories. Metrology is a topic frequently missed by research funding programmes, despite its economic impact which has generated world-wide over 200 3D systems manufacturers, over 200 3D metrology service companies and a range of end users including Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, NASA, Ford, Audi, BMW, VW, GE, KUKA and CERN.The building of an online network of industry and academic partners would greatly enhance the capacity for these opportunities to be more readily exploited through research funding. Cooperative knowledge transfer, e.g. via a public website, would be beneficial to all parties by increasing the capacity for applying and developing 3D metrology at these institutions. By promoting their facilities and focusing their collective expertise to an interested public, the groups can increase the scope for identifying problems specific to 3D metrology. This would add impact to their individual and collective research, which in turn encourages further links with commercial and industry partners.A 10-day exploratory visit to Brazil is proposed for September 2017, hosted by the new ISI SIM and LGI institutes where areas of cooperation and information exchange would be evaluated. Provisionally the visit will overlap with the National Mobility Engineering Congress, Joinville, 19 - 22 Sept. The Congress attracts engineering students from across Brazil. The location is also the LGI base. UCL and the host institutes would therefore use this opportunity to present 3D metrology to a wide academic audience in Brazil. The host institutes would also help facilitate discussions with Brazilian industries in order to identify areas where metrology could be applied and developed. ISI SIM and LGI have connections to shipbuilding, aerospace, automotive and moulding industries and visits are proposed to Embraer, São Paulo and a NAVSHIP shipyard near Joinville. It is also proposed to hold a workshop at São Leopoldo, the ISI SIM base, to present 3D metrology to local Brazilian industry. The teams at ISI SIM and LGI are well placed to support these workshops and presentations with systems for demonstration and relevant project work.
