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.

  • I was tricked into an inspection position about 22 years ago. That evolved into a supervisor position with CMM duties. Eventually I got offered to have my lvl1 certifications paid for and eventually lvl2 when the main programmer had quit. I've been a senior programmer for the last 10 years now. Still learning though...lol
    I was initially lured by the promise of more money, fame and glory. I'm still waiting to get the fame and glory. Rolling eyes

    The only way to achieve true CMM glory is to out program at Klingon.... in battle:

    It is ALWAYS a good day to program.
