Abstract:
The fast dissemination of coordinate metrology in Brazil has not been followed by the necessary qualification of human resources. Because of its flexibility, complexity and great integration with the whole manufacturing system, Coordinate metrology demands an in depth qualification of the technical person. This paper describes an educational program developed by professionals from Universities and Industries in Brazil for the qualification of technical person involved with coordinate metrology. The program, called FORMA3D, has been active since 2004 with more than 100 3D Metrologists graduated. The motivations, the technical background, the pedagogical structure and the preliminary results are related in this paper.
