Craig Campbell, executive director of OMIC R&D said, “I have been excited about the possibility of having HEIDENHAIN as a member since we first started the discussion at IMTS in 2018. Heidenhain is providing OMIC R&D with immediate data gathering capability, but their ability to assist OMIC R&D as we grow is tremendous. We also look forward to opportunities in the area of training and workforce development due to Heidenhain’s investment in that area.”
