It's evident that all industries are experiencing a shortage of qualified CMM programmers and operators. Companies, regardless of size, are struggling to hire and retain employees who can effectively operate stationary or portable CMMs. Although new metrology programs are emerging in local colleges nationwide to address this issue, the gap is significant and will take time to close. In addition to this much-needed emphasis on metrology education, Hexagon has introduced an exciting development: Metrology Mentor. Discover more below or on NEXUS. Metrology Mentor enables users to drag and drop CAD models, and with the help of AI, generates a CMM program within minutes. As always, Hexagon offers world-class training at your facility and in our training centers across the U.S. and globally.
