Zeiss CMM Expert Training

[[Sh...]]

We recently sent a new hire to Basic training for Calypso and he showed me a brochure for trainings and he noticed Zeiss now offers a Zeiss Calypso Expert training..

Anyone familiar with this course?  Our company would more than likely be very interested in this.

Ooh, me!! I'm an "Expert" 😂

I feel like there was definitely some "filler" that most programmers with 5+ years have had to figure out on their own (or with help from this group)...but they covered some topics like Conditional Branching, Multiple Strategies, Macros, and Harmonics

Shawn,

 

 Yes it isn't offered often, maybe twice a year. I did have the syllabus once upon a time, but I passed on it because I think I know most of the stuff, or would not use it that frequently, things such as step point, kink points, etc.

I sent a couple of my guys to the expert training.  They said it was the first training where it didn't feel 'watered down' and they felt like they actually learned new stuff.  

It saw improvements in their programming after the course, but its like all those trainings, you learn more by actually using it at work in real world applications.  If you want a good class for your programmers, I found the Zeiss GDT course is solid.  Its about how to correctly use Calypso for both ISO and ASME standards.  

The biggest benefit to me is that I could send one of those guys to a supplier and say "I'm sending my Zeiss certified cmm expert".

I don't like taking classes on-line and the expert class hasn't been offered at the Maple Grove facility in a really long time. I've been waiting.

I'm comfortable with step points but I just haven't mastered kink points, though I don't recall many situations where I thought a kink point was going to be the solution. 

I would love to see a Calypso Wiki site where users could post actual applications on EVERY topic within Calypso.   Maybe even put them in the help manual. I know the manual tries to explain what everything is, but presenting "real world" situations might help bring more clarity.
