The quality norms of the past are being shattered by another evolution of CMM technologies arriving on the scene. The reason? Manufacturing is changing at its core. 

Quality data can help manufacturers to advance quality and streamline their operations – if they collect it properly. 

Digital reverse engineering (RE) as a concept has exploded in recent years due to advances in technology and a growing awareness of best practices among manufacturers.
