This e-learning course explores the principles and equipment associated with portable 3D metrology. The course content is divided into five modules:

Module 1: Principles of portable 3D measurement examines how locations in 3D space can be expressed using co-ordinate systemsThis e-learning course explores the principles and equipment associated with portable 3D metrology. The course content is divided into five modules:

Module 1: Principles of portable 3D measurement examines how locations in 3D space can be expressed using co-ordinate systems, approaches to measuring those locations, and why it is important
Module 2: Measurement strategy planning outlines key aspects of good decision-making in the planning and carrying out of a measurement task
Module 3: Portable co-ordinate measuring systems introduces some of the measuring systems that are used in portable 3D measurement and gives good practice guidance for their use
Module 4: Measurement uncertainty, and gaining confidence in measurement explores the sources of uncertainty common to different measuring systems and examines methods that can be used to gain confidence in measurement results
Module 5: A checklist for co-ordinate measurement introduces the checklist that accompanies the course; this checklist is designed to support the use of portable co-ordinate measuring systems, approaches to measuring those locations, and why it is important
