International Etalon Forum 3. – 4. November 2016

Controlling the micron in industry and research

To celebrate our 12th anniversary, we are organizing a professional event focussing on “Controlling the micron in industry and research” in cooperation with our customers and partners. The event targets technical experts and decision makers from

  • machine tool and metrology business
  • production in the aerospace, automotive and energy sector
  • the research sector with challenging geometrical metrology tasks

With the forum, we would like to repeat our success of the 2013’s event with over 120 participants – however, introducing one major change: The Etalon Forum 2016 will be held in English language, thus welcoming partners and customers on an international base.
