3D Metrology Conference - 3DMC
3DMC is a conference and exhibition dedicated to the application and development of 3D measurement technology for industrial, scientific and cultural purposes. After the successful start of the
series in Aachen in 2016, the organizing committee is dedicated to open the
forthcoming second event to an even broader audience.
3DMC 2017 will again
be hosted in Aachen.
3DMC aims at end users of 3D metrology systems, equipment and software suppliers, service providers, researchers and procurement and quality managers. These target audiences operate in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, marine, off-shore, built environment, cultural heritage and virtual reality. Users and developers from these diverse fields can share their differing experiences, values, and requirements while, at the same time, helping to drive the industry forward.
Typical conference themes include:
We welcome presentations of applications at all scales, from the reverse engineering and inspection of small parts to the as-built 3D modelling of entire process plants.
Whilst portable methods drive many developments in 3D metrology, we also want to hear about the high accuracies of fixed axis technologies and sub-surface inspection offered by computed tomography and non-destructive testing (NDT).
Visit Aachen this October to explore 3D metrology and to contribute to the community.
Conference format:
We request presentations only, no papers. The presentations will cover both applications-oriented and research-oriented subjects and will be publicly available in electronic format after the event.

Additionally we summarized some useful travel information for you and integrated two maps for your convenience:
Train rides from Dusseldorf Airport to Aachen take about one and a half to two hours with Deutsche Bahn. Trains run about every hour. The SkyTrain connects the railway station and the terminals (5 minutes). It is also possible to rent a car at Düsseldorf Airport.
Depending on the connections, the train ride with Deutsche Bahn from Cologne/Bonn Airport to Aachen takes about one to one and half hours with a changeover at Cologne Central Station. It is possible to rent a car at Cologne/Bonn Airport.
The train ride from Frankfurt to Aachen with Deutsche Bahn takes about two to three hours depending on the connections. It includes a changeover at Cologne Central Station. It is possible to rent a car at Frankfurt Airport.
Aachen is linked to the international railway network. Every two hours the high-speed train THALYS operates via Aachen between Paris and Cologne. There is also a fast connection to London via train. Besides, ICE trains run from Frankfurt to Brussels via Aachen. There are direct connections to the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Siegen, Frankfurt/Main and Hamm. An hourly connection to Heerlen links Aachen to the Dutch railway system.

The Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering WZL at the RWTH Aachen carries out research and consultancy projects both on a fundamental level and according to industry’s specific requirements, and develops innovative, practical solutions that safeguard business growth. The objective of handling the entire range of production technology issues under one roof results in a wide scope – from strategic innovation, production and quality management to control, machine, production and measuring technology.
PRS Technologie GmbH was founded in 2012, as a consultancy spin-off at RWTH Aachen University. Through its extensive network with RWTH Aachen University and Fraunhofer Society, PRS Technologie provides consultancy and capacity building services with the focus on transfer of technology and knowledge from academia to practice. PRS Technologie functions under two business units namely PRSTG International and PRSTG Solutions, while the former focuses on development of technology and education partnerships between Germany and the countries abroad, the latter provides consultancy and training services in Germany, as the home country.
The 3DMC Organsing Committee is formed by experts in the field of 3-dimensional metrology who come from industry, academia and national metrology institutes in order to ensure that the conference has an interdisciplinary character.
