The first 75th years of manufacturing metrology at the Faculty of Mechanical engineering in Belgrade: Past / present / future

Abstract

Manufacturing metrology is the science of measurements in manufacturing engineering. It is divided into scientific, legal and applied. This paper refers to applied manufacturing metrology from the point of view of its development as an engineering discipline at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, at the Department of Manufacturing Engineering. This paper has several parts: (i) an overview of the development of production metrology in the world, and (ii) its development at the Department of Manufacturing Engineering, over a period of 75 years, with several aspects: engineer education, research and industrial applications. Also, at the end, one view of the author on the future of manufacturing Metrology is given.
