T1 Intelligent Design and Metrology for Higher Quality, Accuracy and Improving Production Efficiency JF Acta Mechanica Slovaca YR 2011 VO 15 IS 1 SP 6 OP 11 DO 10.21496/ams.2011.001 UL https://www.actamechanica.sk/artkey/ams-201101-0001.php AB Adequate knowledge in the areas of intelligent metrology and design are important presuppositions to achieve waste free production and low costs of manufacturing and accuracy at the same time within the sophisticated production systems. This is of extreme importance in present time of worldwide international competition in industry and production engineering and at the same time increasingly higher costs of energy and raw material. The prescription and consumption of material and energy to achieve the necessary and required workpiece accuracy in series manufacturing depends to a great extent from the (geometrical) workpiece tolerances of any kind (roughness, form, positional, dimensional) which are prescribed for the production and the fulfillment of these tolerances and therefore for the function of the produced workpieces and their fitness for practical application and none the less of the economy of production altogether. This requirement is of great importance at the time being which is characterized as described above.
