The 17th CIRP Conference on Computer Aided Tolerancing will review and discuss the advances, research results and industrial improvements in the field of variability management in the context of Industry 4.0. The theme of the conference is:​

​“ Specification and verification vs Industry 4.0 ”​

​Tolerancing has a long history in research and practice, and advances in the computational power to assist complex analyses and simulations have given the field a strong new trajectory as an integral tool in managing the product lifecycle. The promise of Industry 4.0 is that product realization is supported by intelligent devices distributed throughout the manufacturing environment. The presence of the digital thread and digital twin provides additional opportunities in the field of tolerancing and metrology.​

​The Organizing Committee invites you to submit an abstract/paper and looks forward to welcome you to the 17th CIRP Conference on Computer Aided Tolerancing – CAT 2022.​

​Metz has a rich 3,000-year-history, having variously been a Celtic oppidum, an important Gallo-Roman city, the Merovingian capital of the Austrasia kingdom, the birthplace of the Carolingian dynasty, a cradle of the Gregorian chant, and one of the oldest republics in Europe. The city has been steeped in Romance culture, but has been strongly influenced by Germanic culture due to its location and history.
