The quality norms of the past are being shattered by another evolution of CMM technologies arriving on the scene. The reason? Manufacturing is changing at its core.

With all of this progress, it was inevitable that quality inspection would also need to follow the industry trends. Looking beyond the quality room, metrology device manufacturers had to realize the core needs of a manufacturing business as an organization, and ensure information provided by CMMs and metrology devices benefits their everyday operations.
