CMAs are typically used for contact measurements in short measurement campaigns having few measurands and few workpieces. For instance, they are used for the GD&T quality control of assemblies [1] with welded or screwed plates and GD&T verification in the field, either at a tool machine table or directly at a production work station as in prototype manufacturing. CMAs are most suitable for companies needing fast measurements in different places, short measurement campaigns or verification of a few relevant measurements and dimensional or geometric tolerances. It is also common to find CMAs used in reverse engineering combined with dimensional metrology to determine the reference of complex geometries to simple geometries.
Regarding the range of force values, it must be said that some of the tests were carried out intentionally using extra probing force, reaching values even higher than 10 N. However, when measuring was undertaken carefully or under controlled conditions, the common forces were seldom higher than 6 N. On the contrary, probing forces below 0.5 N usually caused probing slips, making bad contact and producing a false measurement value. To prevent this slip effect, it is always preferable to increase the force.
Shortly after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Montenegro, there was a need to provide protective equipment to the medical facilities whose supplies were threatened to be depleted soon after the virus arrived in the country. Due to the pandemic, supply chains were having difficulties functioning, so the potential procurement of additional equipment could require a long waiting period. Some countries that faced a pandemic before Montenegro responded to the need for medical equipment by using the advantages of 3D printers that were available to various entities at the time [5]. As such, similar to other European countries such as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, a coalition of enthusiastic Montenegrin 3D Printing makers and manufacturers have decided to step up in response to the COVID-19 crisis in order to connect and establish a state network of production hubs, ensuring closed connectivity, communication, and the mutual fulfilment of personal protective equipment (PPE) demands whenever and wherever required. It all started with the initiative at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Montenegro and the Science and Technology Park Montenegro, supported by the Ministry of Science in Montenegro, while gathering all 3D printers in the country (45 printers in Montenegro) to create a national cluster, printing certain segments of protective equipment and spare parts that were made available to the Institute of Public Health of Montenegro [6]. It was decided to start printing prototypes based on available 3D models: protective masks for respirators along with tubes, protective masks with HEPA filters (filters with strong drafting power), and protective visors. After the Institute of Public Health of Montenegro verified the quality and safety of the printed equipment, the National Coordination Body for Infectious Diseases decided that the Science and Technology Park Montenegro will be the main coordinator of 3D printing in Montenegro, in order to centralize the entire system through one platform and help the supply process run faster and without interruption. In addition, noticing the efforts of the cluster, the National Coordination Body decided to provide financial assistance to the cluster for procurement of the necessary filaments since, due to the intensive use of available filaments, 3D producers soon ran out of their stock. To date, over 19,000 protective visors have been delivered to the community, including an estimate of more than 50 different entities, primarily medical institutions (see Figure 1).
Atlanta Chemical Engineering LLC, Atlanta, GA (USA) thermo color-changing (thermochromic) paints are top-quality materials applied on paper, wood, metal, and plastic surfaces, as shown in Figure 3. They come with different activation temperatures to change from a color to colorless (translucent white) or a color to a color transition. Thermochromic paints have good consistency and excellent dye properties [20]. These products are water-based, non-toxic, and change color reversibly, except for those which are marked as irreversible. The irreversible thermochromic paints change color just once at the indicated activation temperature. 2ff7e9595c
