Apr 1, 2005 #1 kabluzy Mechanical Feb 10, 2003 16 0 0 TT Does anyone know the best portable equipment to use for measuring surface roughness of sculptured surfaces? I need to measure the roughness of NURBS surfaces in mold cavities. The size of the cavity is about 2.5" x 2.5". Thanks

Even though it technically is an instrument, this forum is geared more towards COntrol manufacturing processes. I believe if oyu google "surface roughness" you should find a tool for your use.
