MOBILE WITH MARSURF Wherever surface structures influence the function, processing or appearance of components or products, careful testing is essential. But how can surfaces be tested? At the start of the 20th Century, experts still had to test by eye and touch. A practiced eye can detect features in the ìm range, and even the much maligned thumbnail test delivered perfectly acceptable results. Now however, we live in an age of exchangeable parts, fits and internationalization, where subjective tests like this...
