10th – 11th March 2021
Virtual Conference & Exhibition

euspen’s 14th International Conference and Exhibition on Laser Metrology, Coordinate Measuring Machine and Machine Tool Performance, (LAMDAMAP 2021) was planned to be held at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Södertälje Campus, Södertälje, Sweden. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been decided to deliver this meeting as a “virtual online web-meeting”, to ensure the participants remain safely connected.
The 14th International Conference and Exhibition on Laser Metrology, Coordinate Measuring Machine and Machine Tool Performance, (LAMDAMAP 2021) will be organised by euspen drawing together many of the worlds distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering and medicine. It embraces NEW TOPICS and a NEW FORMAT.
Advanced machine tool metrology supports superior part production; enabling, understanding and tracking of baseline performance machines. Whilst the trend towards nanometre level surfaces finishes and features progresses, matching both form and finish coherently in complex parts remains a major challenge.
This conference will take place in virtually and will focus on Metrology in New Fabrication Techniques; New Developments in Measurement Techniques; Novel Manufacturing Technologies & Machine Tools; Performance Evaluation for Machine Tools & CMMs; Roughness & Machine Tool Standards; Accuracy and Performance Evaluation of Industrial Manipulators; Integrated Metrology in New Fabrication Techniques and Machine Learning for Metrology and Precision.
The organising commitee for euspen‘s 14th Lamdamap Conference and Exhibition is Prof. Andreas Archenti, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, SE; Prof. Liam Blunt, University of Huddersfield, UK; Prof. Andrew Longstaff, University of Huddersfield, UK and Prof. BG Rosén, Halmstad University, SE.
We understanding networking is the key to the success of euspen’s events, and whilst we have had to adapt this event and bring this to you virtually, we still hope the structure will allow our presenters and registrants to discuss issues of immediate relevance to the area of machine tool metrology. To stimulate such cross fertilisation of ideas and experiences, we have incorporated an extended coffee break at the end of each oral session to allow for an interactive discussion with presenters and all registrants alike.
The production of more and more accurate and smaller and smaller components relies and indeed is underpinned by advanced machine tool metrology, which facilitates the assessment of performance of machines. This requirement becomes more pressing as the drive in industry towards the greater use of nano-scale surface finishes and features gathers pace. It is vital that form and finish is produced consistently in small complex parts, and it is here that the key challenge for advanced metrology solutions exists today.
The extended coffee breaks allocated for discussing presentations, will allow for the transfer of knowledge bringing the next generation of manufacturers to incorporate available advances in measurement techniques to meet tomorrow’s specifications.

Dr Masahiko Mori
DMG MORI, JP
The future of global manufacturing and machine tool industry
In the field of manufacturing, optimized machining process and its highly-operable surroundings are the main drivers to maximize the whole productivity.
For decades, machining process has been improved in the course of the development of 5-axis or multi-axis machine tools as well as the process integration into single machine tool. It has now come to the era of automation and digitization, supported by the growing global demand for skilled operators, which is capable of unmanned operations and continuous monitoring, analysis and thus improvement of the process.
This presentation shows how the global manufacturing and machine tool industry have been changing, and how DMG MORI plays a role of a machine tool manufacturer who enables its customers worldwide take part in the continuous circle of productivity improvement.

Ian Laidler
Wayland Additive, UK
The future of global manufacturing and machine tool industry
Electron beam additive manufacturing was introduced as a process over 20 years ago, along with its competing technology selective laser melting. Both have advanced and developed in that time. These two technologies offer the user something different. Wayland is a new entrant to the metal additive market, offering a 3rd way, with a new technology “NeuBeam” that has electron beam melting at its core. Wayland have started a fresh and developed the technology from the ground up. This paper looks at electron beam AM / NeuBeam from a machine builder’s perspective as well as the users’ perspective, sharing the fundamental aspects of the technology to the realisation of a manufacturing process. The inherent advantages of the technology are mapped through to end use benefits, such as productivity, controllability, flexibility and quality assurance. Electron beam AM is one of the tools in the additive manufacturing tool set, but one that is less well known. Development of NeuBeam by Wayland Additive will be presented and its implications for the user will be discussed.
