Abstract: The connotation and composition of measuring science in mechanical manufacture are introduced. It is pointed out that measuring technology is an indispensable part of mechanical science and advanced manufacture, just like eyes to human. The applications and innovation demands of mechanical manufacturing direct the main research content and development of this field. Along with the change of international economic pattern and the rapid economic and technological development trend of our country in recent years, the development degree of measuring and testing technology is to become the basis and key to the sustainable development of our country’s manufacturing industry in the future. Based on the development of the measuring and testing technology in global mechanical manufacture in recent years, the development trend and the research hotspots of measuring technology in this field. The suggestions on the key projects and research programs in this field are put forward.

Key words: Development research, Measuring science, Mechanical manufacture
