Two-Day Hands-on Training Program on CMM & VMM Machines
Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri

About

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, is organizing a Two-Day Hands-on Training Program on Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and Video Measuring Machine (VMM).

This program is designed to provide participants with practical exposure and in-depth understanding of advanced dimensional measurement and inspection techniques widely used in modern manufacturing and quality control industries.

Objectives

  • To understand GD&T concepts and their industrial applications
  • To introduce the fundamentals of CMM and VMM
  • To provide hands-on experience in dimensional measurement and inspection
  • To learn part programming for CMM/VMM and inspection report generation
  • To enhance technical skills relevant to industry and research

Key takeaways

  • Measure GD&T Parameters
  • Obtain thorough knowledge and skills necessary for the reliable measurement application.
  • Reverse engineering methodology
  • Practical exposure to CMM and VMM machines
  • Industry-relevant dimensional measurement skills
  • Improved understanding of inspection and quality control
  • Certificate of Participation
