Mikroniek 2010-4 by Martijn van Riel and Ton Moers 8 April 2012

The TriNano, a new coordinate measuring machine (CMM), has been designed in line with needs from industrial and academic CMM users. Many of these users do not require a large measurement volume, but need nanometer uncertainty within a measurement volume of about 20-40 cm3. This reduction in measurement volume enables the TriNano to employ a new 3D actuation principle, resulting in a low-cost CMM with nanometer uncertainty.
