Answers everyone! How and when did you learn to program on PC-Dmis? What training classes have you taken?
I am going to take my Level 3 Advanced training course in November! I am trying to decide what to take next.
thx for the reply, Wolfman. (apologies for abbreviating your quote)
I was just trying to get a handle on which training (Zeiss v Hexagon) you found more 'enlightening' in the overall scheme of CMM land.
I would think that personalized instruction (a 1 to 1 basis) would always trump the mass teaching one gets at the 'educational centers'.
And not to be a wise-guy, I'll offer this:
I can only speak for Hexagon inasmuch as I've not had Zeiss training. But am willing to bet both companies give their students some kind of cheesy plastic ring-folder with the course outlines, etc from Level 1 training.
The guy who takes it home and reads it on weekends will be the GOOD programmer, the dude who didn't quite absorb things over 4-5 days and simply returns to work will pretty much suck and be clogging up the help line 12/7.
I'll paraphrase.... someone once said: " CMM (actually it was GDT) is like the flu... not everyone gets it..."
am running a bit long in the tooth on this post, but to finish? i think the tools are there, some better than others, but someone with that thirst for knowledge is going to make a better CMM guy than the one who just wants it injected.
