Abstract

Our aim is to unify mathematically the specification and the metrological verification of a given geometrical object. The observed differences result from the fact that strictly geometrical parameters are used in CAD systems while in mechanical engineering distances are paramount. A new mathematical concept — “Near Surfaces” — will be defined. This concept enables specifications and metrological determination to be incorporated within a unified mathematical theory.
