I've been researching CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) options for precision inspection work and wanted to get some input from the community.

For anyone unfamiliar, a CMM is used to measure the physical dimensions of a part with high accuracy — commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing for quality control.

Things I'm considering:
Accuracy and repeatability
Manual vs. CNC-controlled
Ease of use and software support
After-sales service and calibration
I came across Sipcon Technologies' CMM Machine while looking around: https://www.sipconinstrument.com/cmm/

If anyone here uses a CMM regularly, I'd love to know which one you'd recommend and why. Thanks in advance!
