Abstract
University College London (UCL) has seed-funded a 12-month project to create a prototype online knowledge base of portable 3D metrology and related technologies. For the first time this will bring together a body of knowledge which until now has been fragmented and dispersed. The prototype will embrace the entire metrology community of technology suppliers, users and developers. In this prototype phase the development team will engage with these community segments in order to improve the design, content and operation of the prototype. The team is lead by the 3DIMPact group at UCL and has two partners. One is Geomares, the Dutch publisher of geospatial magazines and developer of a product matching website to which metrology systems will be added as a complementary activity to the knowledge base development. The other is a new Brazilian research institute, the SENAI MetalMechanic which is building up its metrology capabilities in support of Brazilian industries and will act as lead user. The project duration is March 2016 – March 2017 after which it is intended to move into a second phase of development which will take the input from the prototype phase in order to create an optimized working and self-sustaining online resource which can grow further.
