Abstract

This paper discusses some of the problems that plague surface metrology. Whereas the most popular instruments on the shop floor are 2D or profiling systems, there is a clear industrial push towards 3D measurements. The paper discusses the ill-defined route to traceability for 3D surface texture measurements and suggests areas that need further research. It is asserted that the lack of specification standards and methods for performance verifying 3D instruments is the main cause of the large spread in the results seen in recent comparisons.
