This course introduces the fundamentals of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) used in precision manufacturing inspection. Students will learn basic CMM operation, programming concepts, probe types, and how to perform simple part measurements to verify dimensional accuracy. Emphasis is on safe use, data collection, and interpretation of dimensional measurement reports.November 3 - November 26, 2025
Mondays and Tuesdays
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Building on foundational skills, this course covers advanced CMM programming, complex part inspection strategies, and integration of CMM data with quality systems. Students will explore multi-axis probing techniques, fixture design considerations, and software applications for dimensional analysis and reporting. Focus is on optimizing measurement efficiency and accuracy for production environments.January 2026 (exact dates TBD)
