Materials

In the materials industry, dimensional measurement provides critical insight into the physical and mechanical properties of materials, including wear characteristics, compressibility, and coefficients of thermal expansion. Accurate measurement at extremely small scales is essential for understanding material behavior, validating performance, and supporting research, development, and manufacturing processes.

Customers such as ASML, Corning, Alcoa, LenovoEMC, Optimax, IBM, 3M Corporation, Carlisle Interconnect and NASA use Pratt & Whitney laser-based interferometers in measuring foil, film, and mesh thickness as well as other substrates ranging from fractions of a nanometer to several micrometers in thickness.
