ZEISS Academic Program
Measuring Technology in Education
ZEISS has recognized the importance of supporting education since the establishment of the Carl Zeiss Foundation in 1889. One of the primary objectives set forth by its founder, Ernst Abbe, was “to promote the sciences, engineering, and mathematics at universities through dividends from the company’s foundation.” With the precision required in today’s manufacturing processes, understanding the interpretation of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) symbols and effectively determining inspection methods that align with design specifications is crucial for students before entering the workplace.
ZEISS Academic Program has developed advanced 3D metrology simulation programs and GD&T interpretation courses that adhere to international standards such as ISO 1101 and ASME Y14.5. These tools and courses are designed to equip students with the skills necessary for accurate measurements, which are a vital aspect of high-precision component manufacturing in modern industries.
