REFLECON® tarnish matting agents have been developed to dull reflecting, mirroring, transparent or dark surfaces for the 3D optical
measurement technique (known as laser scanning).
3D laser scan allows a quick and exact non-contact measurement of complex geometrics. For an optimal measurement of reflecting,
mirroring, transparent or dark surfaces a matting agent is applied before.
For this application two different REFLECON product types are available:
REFLECON® tarnish type 1 – volatile matting agents (sublimating)
REFLECON® tarnish type 2 – non-volatile matting agents
Q.1. Briefly explain your role at Manchester Metrology?
A. I am an inspector but hope to branch out into scanning and other fields
within metrology. Currently my role is to support our customers in any way I
can.
Q.2. What do you look forward to with being part of the Manchester
Metrology team?
A. Learning new skills and meeting all the engineers – lots of different and
unique work and lots to learn from everyone!
Q.3. An unusual fun fact about yourself e.g. favourite food/shoe
size/unusual holiday destination etc.
A. I attend a music festival in Austria every couple of years – me and some
friends got some free tickets (about 11 years ago?!) and met some
wonderful people over there so we still go out there to see them
occasionally.
