Abstract
A method of inspecting a series of workpieces using a coordinate measuring apparatus, comprising the steps of: measuring a calibrated artefact on a coordinate measuring apparatus at a fast speed 28; generating an error map corresponding to the difference between the calibrated artefact and the measured artefact 30; measuring subsequent workpieces at the same fast speed 34 and correcting the measurements of the subsequent workpieces using the error map 36. The artefact may be one of the workpieces.
