CMM and CAD: Reverse Engineering Insights

The document discusses coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). It describes CMMs as devices that can manually or automatically measure the physical geometry of objects using probes attached to movable axes. It lists the types of CMMs as articulated arm, bridge, cantilever, and gantry styles. The document also outlines some common applications and specifications of CMMs like dimensional measurement, resolution, weight capacity, and mounting options.

CMM
y Coordinate measuring machine is a device for

measuring the physical geometrical characteristics of an object. y This machine may be manually controlled by an operator or it may be computer controlled. y Measurements are defined by a probe attached to the third moving axis of this machine. y Probes may be mechanical, optical, laser, or white light.
