Cranfield Precision and EVIGeM
The main goal of EVIGeM is to recover, maintain and advance Europe's position in geometry measurements, comprising instrumentation (hardware and software), scientific knowledge and methodology. The project, originally funded by the European Commission, is now a self supporting commercial organization with the full legal status of a German legal entity (GmbH). Cranfield Precision is a participating member of the virtual institute offering services to a broad range of customers through the Evigem web portal.
Services
EVIGeM will offer services on two different levels - a customer and a member level. On the customer level, EVIGeM aims at being the first contact for a customer dealing with a specific problem in the field of geometry measurement and to mediate solution providers. The providers to be considered are members of EVIGeM. They use the Virtual Institute on the members level to offer solutions to the problem description of the customer
