    Along with the 5-6 months of running the CMM when we first received it. I also was able to complete Polyworks training in 2019- Basic, 2023- Basic, 2023-Macro and 2024 modeler.

    I work on many projects throughout the year. There are two that stand out from the past year. I assisted in reverse engineering a gasket for product engineering . The other was working and assisting in polyworks to scan and create a program that would help understand the alignment issues we were having in heavy weld quad cells.
