Case Study: The Gorge de Loup boosts metrology training and precision with Hexagon’s TIGO SF CMM

Combining a training centre with industrial subcontracting in mechanical engineering requires up-to-date, reliable and easy-to-use machinery like the TIGO CMM from Hexagon

The Gorge de Loup (GDL), a technical training school in Lyon, faced a challenge with an outdated and unsupported coordinate measuring machine (CMM) in its workshop. To properly train its students in modern metrology and enhance their skills for industry demands, the school needed a new, reliable, and easy-to-use solution. They turned to vendor Hexagon to acquire a new CMM for their program.

Hexagon provided GDL with a TIGO SF CMM, a precise and robust machine suitable for the workshop environment. The solution was chosen for its ease of use, which allowed students to quickly learn and intensively use the equipment. The implementation by Hexagon successfully integrated advanced metrology into the curriculum, giving students a significant competitive advantage by mastering both machining and 3D control, thus preparing them comprehensively for their future careers.
