Three-dimensional runout characterisation for rotationally symmetric components (2025)
Journal Article
Tompkins, C. G., Todhunter, L. D., Gottmann, H., Rettig, C., Schmitt, R., Wacker, J., & Piano, S. (2025). Three-dimensional runout characterisation for rotationally symmetric components. Communications Engineering, 4(1), Article 19. https://doi.org/10.1038/s44172-025-00354-0

Rotationally symmetric components are ubiquitous to modern devices, and their precision manufacture is necessary to keep costs and manufacture time down, as well as reduce waste and possibly hazardous component failure. Here we present a potential up... Read More about Three-dimensional runout characterisation for rotationally symmetric components.

[SUBMITTED] A Complete Re-evaluation of the Accuracy of the Standardised Roundness Evaluation Methods (2025)
Journal Article
TOMPKINS, C., & PIANO, S. [SUBMITTED] A Complete Re-evaluation of the Accuracy of the Standardised Roundness Evaluation Methods. Manuscript submitted for publication

Roundness evaluation is the process of measuring how well an object conforms to a circle, a ubiquitous process in the manufacture of any rotating part, and the evaluation of rounded objects throughout science and engineering. This evaluation is a sta... Read More about [SUBMITTED] A Complete Re-evaluation of the Accuracy of the Standardised Roundness Evaluation Methods.

Design and Construction of a Custom Measurement Device (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nasr Azadani, S., Tompkins, C., & Piano, S. (2024, September). Design and Construction of a Custom Measurement Device. Poster presented at 3DMC (3D Metrology) 2024, Loughborough - United Kingdom

This study explores the next step in customised measurement instruments by reconsidering the assumption that confocal measurement devices cannot be manufactured using consumer-grade equipment. Historically, these devices have required specialised man... Read More about Design and Construction of a Custom Measurement Device.
