Theoretical introduction to measurement on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Students will acquainted familiar with the construction and sensors of CMM. They will gain important knowledge of computer tomography and reverse engineering. We introduce them to the CMM application in industry. This is related to method of MSA, including the determination of measurement uncertainty.
