Abstract:Three kinds of manufacturing modes are introduced: the intelligent making, networking manufacturing, and 3D printing. From the development of manufacturing in future, the needs of both manufacturing and quality assurance for calibration are presented in detail. The emphases are put on both the base effects and leading effects of the measure ability and the testability on the development of future manufacturing. The main idea is that by using the digital measurement, the intelligent measurement, and the 3D printing calibration, one can face the three kinds of manufacturing modes in future.
