How Did You Get Into CMM Programming?

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.

  • Bummer, I could see how that might hold you back some. Hopefully that right fit/opportunity is right around the corner for you. Some company that realizes what an asset you would be and pays you accordingly. I wish you luck.


    Appreciate it. I'm not miserable where am at and what I'm doing (just want to be clear just in case). I keep finding myself, still, checking up on the machining industry, and visiting the small machine shop we have at this shop just to say hello as I'm not involved in any way... I might just pick it up as a hobby lol or my heart truly is at a CNC shop in front of a CMM Wink
