Service Description

I support measurement laboratories that need reliable, stable, and clearly structured CMM programs, without disrupting their internal processes or overloading their teams.

In 3D measurement, there are no universal programs or shortcuts. Every part has its own constraints and tolerances. That is why I write every program from scratch, fully customized to your CAD model, the strict requirements of the technical drawing, and your machine's configuration.

I help you achieve programs that:

• Run consistently and predictably in production.

• Strictly comply with automotive, ISO, and ASME standards.

• Are easy to understand, maintain, and expand by your internal personel.

What this service includes

• Measurement strategy definition: We analyze what, how, and why to measure before writing the first line of code.
• Adapted for your environment: We identify the software version, CMM model and probe configuration, in order to accurately simulate your working environment.
• GD&T / GPS interpretation: We translate geometric requirements from the drawing directly into clear measurement logic.
• Structure and Optimization (Calypso Focus): We build clean, fast, and collision-free programs.
• Program architecture: Correct definition of alignments; feature grouping, executed according to their designation,angle, and probe measurement direction.
• Review and Stabilization: We clean up old programs that cause errors or downtime.
• Customized reporting: We tailor PiWeb reports to the specific project and highlight graphical evaluations to ensure an in-depth understanding of the measurement results.
• Support during implementation and first runs

How the collaboration works (100% Remote)

To ensure maximum efficiency, development is done offline. Your CMM measures serial parts while I write the code separately. You send me the CAD models and drawings, and we collaborate through:

• Screen-sharing sessions for technical analysis, clarifications, and code review.

• Guided remote implementation for the first program runs on your machine.

• A fast feedback loop for fine-tuning and optimizations directly within your existing workflow.

The focus is always the same: a stable, ready-to-use measurement program that runs flawlessly on your machine.

The Pilot Intervention

Before starting a large-scale project, I recommend a Pilot Intervention. This involves:

• A limited number of features (e.g., only critical dimensions or the most complex features on a drawing).

• A short, controlled engagement.

• Validation of the working style, communication, and results.

This step confirms the efficiency of our collaboration before scaling the partnership.

Added value for your lab:

• Zero Down-time: Eliminate bottlenecks; your CMM produces while we prepare future programs.

• Small Trial-and-Error on the machine: We drastically reduce the time wasted on failed tests directly on the equipment.

• External Support: I handle the offline programming overflow during peak periods, removing the pressure from your internal team.

• Expertise on demand: You get predictable consulting costs, paying only for the expertise when you actually need it.
