About us

WHO WE ARE – THE HEARTBEAT OF METROLOGY

Born out of passion and dedication to precision, The Institute of Geometric and Dimensional Metrology (IGDM) has established itself as the world’s leading body for metrological exploration and advancement. Nestled at the crossroads of science, technology, and industry, IGDM represents a fusion of tradition and forward-thinking innovation.

Our Journey

Beginnings

Our story began in the early 1980s, with a group of visionaries who recognized the increasing importance of metrology in a world becoming smaller and more interconnected. From humble gatherings in dimly lit rooms, the group expanded its horizon, setting the foundation for what would become the IGDM.

Through the decades, the institute evolved, not just in size, but in scope, mandate, and influence. Today, we proudly stand as a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose.

Achievements

As pioneers in our field, we have:

  • Spearheaded international standardization efforts in geometric and dimensional measurements.
  • Contributed to countless industrial innovations through our research.
  • Educated thousands of professionals, producing some of the brightest minds in the world of metrology.

Our Philosophy

Commitment to Excellence

To us, metrology isn’t just about measurements – it’s an art and a science, demanding precision, creativity, and an incessant pursuit of knowledge. This understanding shapes our operations, ensuring that excellence isn’t just a goal; it’s a tradition.

Inclusivity and Collaboration

The mysteries of the universe don’t unravel in isolation. Our inclusive ethos ensures that every voice, every idea, and every discovery finds a platform. Through global partnerships, research collaborations, and community engagement, we ensure that the flame of knowledge is kindled, shared, and celebrated together.

Sustainability and Future

Metrology plays a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future, from resource optimization to the design of eco-friendly technologies. We are committed to steering research and practices that align with global sustainability goals, ensuring that our legacy is not just about precision, but about a better world.

Looking Ahead

As we gaze into the future, our vision is clear: to elevate geometric and dimensional metrology to new heights, making it integral to every innovation, every industry, and every aspect of human life. With initiatives to integrate AI and machine learning into metrological processes, collaborations with universities for academic courses, and outreach programs to inspire the next generation, our journey has only just begun.

We invite you to be a part of this exciting journey. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, an industry partner, or someone just starting out in the vast world of metrology, there’s a place for you here at the IGDM.

Join us, and let’s shape the future of precision, together.
