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.
Most get here on accident. I've spent the last 15 years helping folks get in to it- mostly good fundamental machinists who showed an interest. Help lots of guys.
Myself- just got lucky Or unlucky depending on how you look at it ;-)
