What is Coordinate Measuring Machines?

Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) are devices used to precisely measure the geometry of physical objects. A CMM typically consists of a probing system that is moved along three axes (X, Y, and Z) to determine the coordinates of points on the object's surface. These measurements are then used to assess dimensions, shapes, and tolerances, ensuring the manufactured part conforms to design specifications. CMMs are widely used in manufacturing, quality control, and reverse engineering to ensure product quality and accuracy.
