How Did You Get Into CMM Programming?

ALousyUser
Just as the title says - how'd you first make your stake as a CMM programmer?

For me it was when a recruiter on LinkedIn randomly reached out to me asking if I was interested in being a Metrologist for an international company while I was working as a Quality Inspector at a job shop in 2020, just before the pandemic. I knew nothing about Metrology/CMM programming until I blew the technical portion of the interview process and got hired anyway haha! Ended up being mentored by a professional for 2 years before moving onto a specialized CMM programming gig at another company in 2022.

I figured - as it seems like a lot of us got on-the-job training for CMM programming, you guys/gals must have some interesting stories to share about how you got to where you are now, as CMM programmers.

    ​What is a rotary? I'm not familiar with that term.

    Like We get an old manual Johansson (Cordimet 1200 with Flexylearn), which was to small for our parts, but usefull enough to prove that a cmm was the right solution. The boss bought a Chameleon, with PC-DMIS 2.06xxxx, with a SP600, a rotary (Slight smile), and it was the start !

    I haven't heard of Johansson brand CMMs. Is that the same company that made gage blocks a thing?

    I like how your boss went from an old manual machine right to a machine with an SP600. What a step up! You must have really convinced them that a CMM was a good investment.
