For decades, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) have served as the final arbiters of dimensional accuracy, verifying whether manufactured parts meet specification before they leave the production floor. But according to a new technical paper from Expert Manufacturing Systems, traditional inspection workflows are only scratching the surface of the value contained within CMM measurement data.
