Self-Directed Learning
COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE (CMM) - INTRODUCTION
The operator is the most important part of your CMM. A small investment in operator training
will maximize productivity, increase the return on your substantial equipment investment and
allow you to use this sophisticated machinery to your best competitive advantage. This
practical program begins with an easily grasped explanation of how a CMM works, includes
step-by-step visual demonstrations and provides a series of hands-on exercises in measuring
practice parts which are included in the program materials.
The cost for this
Self-Directed Learning introduction CMM
course is $400 plus $35 for the student workbook. In some cases,
discounts are available to unemployed students.
