Open X is a modern online learning platform ideal for working profession- als requiring flexibility. The CMM Programing and Inspection course is the newest metrology course following the popular, Fundamentals of Reverse Engineering and Verisurf Quick Sur- face courses. As a practical contributor to the Open X metrology curriculum, Verisurf provides examples of real- world workflows, best practices, and contributions from individuals with many years of experience in the field.
“We developed the Open X learn-
ing platform specifically for working professionals and students looking to advance their current career or get started in a new career. We have found that collaborating with experts, such as Verisurf, gives our curriculum a practical advantage over theory-based learning, said Cody James, CEO of Open X.
Verisurf Software is built on a CAD platform and used throughout the CMM Programing and Inspec- tion course. Verisurf has long been a leader in developing and supporting metrology software solutions rooted in Model-Based Definition (MBD). At the heart of MBD is the CAD model, it is the absolute authority to define a part or entire product providing a defined 3D data set, including all necessary GD&T annotations for inspection,
measurement, analysis, tool building, and reverse engineering.
Verisurf training, using the Open X online platform, is available 24/7 to any organization or individual seek- ing to learn dimensional metrology skills. Courses can be accessed using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
