I assume that you are enquiring about a 'micrometer', the precision measuring instrument, as opposed to a 'micrometre' (to use the British spelling), which is an SI unit for distance? I guess this sums up the problem with the US spelling!

A micrometer has no particular disadvantages -it does exactly what it is designed to do. I suppose you could say that you have to be taught how to read a micrometer is a 'disadvantage', but this is true for most analogue instruments. However, there are digital micrometers which overcome this difficulty.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of 3 point micrometer and 2 point micrometer?

Advantages of 3-point micrometer: improved accuracy and reduced measurement error due to additional contact points, suitable for measuring non-round parts. Disadvantages: more complicated setup and calibration, higher cost compared to 2-point micrometers. Advantages of 2-point micrometer: simpler setup and operation, lower cost compared to 3-point micrometers. Disadvantages: may have decreased accuracy and increased measurement error compared to 3-point micrometers, limited suitability for measuring non-round parts.
