A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a precision five-axis machine used to collect and analyze surface points from a part to verify the geometric requirements (size, location, orientation, and form) of part features.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) typically operates on three axes (X, Y, and Z) rather than five, to measure the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe.
