My journey in dimensional inspection and quality started what seems like a lifetime ago when I ran the one-CMM quality department in my father’s aerospace engineering firm. Thirty years later, my passion for American ingenuity has never been stronger.
I was in dimensional inspection well before any general requirements for competence to produce precise and accurate testing and/or calibration data existed. Over time we have moved from the first edition of ISO/IEC Guide 25 in 1994 to ISO/IEC Guide 17025 in 2005.
