In the context of an increasingly advanced manufacturing industry, quality control has become not merely a requirement but a critical factor for enterprises seeking to integrate into the global supply chain.
Recognizing the growing demand for a highly skilled metrology workforce, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE) collaborated with 3D Smart Solutions (3DS) to establish the High-Tech Mechanical Metrology Lab within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. This strategic initiative represents a significant advancement in training high-caliber engineers, empowering students with hands-on expertise in state-of-the-art measurement technologies from the classroom stage.
Challenges Faced by 3DS
This project involved far more than simply supplying equipment; it posed several significant challenges for 3DS:
- Shortage of specialized training personnel: There were no formal educational programs in advanced metrology available in Vietnam at the time, requiring 3DS to build the training framework entirely from the ground up.
- Gap between academic theory and industrial practice: Traditional education remained focused on basic measurement methods, falling short of the high-level quality control standards required by modern industries.
- Complexity of advanced metrology technologies: Manufacturers demanded cutting-edge measurement systems capable of delivering high precision and performing multi-parameter inspections across large batches of products.
3D Smart Solutions' Approach
To address these challenges, 3DS provided the university with a comprehensive solution that included:
- Deployment of advanced equipment: Installation of a full suite of modern technologies, including a CMM machine, a Freescan X5 handheld 3D scanner, a 3D printer, and metrology software (Education Edition: Geomagic Control X).
- Structured training programs from basic to advanced levels: The curriculum was carefully designed to integrate both theoretical foundations and intensive hands-on practice.
- Technology transfer and academic support: 3DS experts directly participated in training faculty members and students, enabling them to quickly master new technologies. Notably, 3DS collaborated closely with the university to co-develop a specialized metrology textbook as part of the academic program.
