NIST Manfacturing Engineering Laboratory: Assisting U.S. Aerospace Manufacturing Throught Measurements and Standards.

摘要

This paper discusses how the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) promotes a healthy U.S. aerospace manufacturing sector by developing and applying measurements, standards, and infrastructural technology. The paper articulates MEL's current and potential future roles in assisting this key U.S. manufacturing sector with respect to technological disciplines associated with metrology, manufacturing processes and equipment, and systems integration and interoperability.
