Making sense of surface measurement

Article Abstract:

The development of new materials and multi-processing techniques has made surface measurement a more complicated task for quality professionals.

Surface quality has to be defined by function, by its desired features and by undesirable features. Software programs have been developed to aid in surface quality determination.
