Simon Walsh
My name is Simon Walsh, and I specialize in coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and dimensional metrology. With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and precision measurement, I have dedicated my career to the application and optimization of CMM technology in manufacturing environments where accuracy and quality are paramount.
I have hands-on experience with a variety of CMM systems, including contact and non-contact measurement technologies, and have worked extensively on tasks involving geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), CAD model integration, and automated inspection processes. My work supports industries such as automotive, aerospace, and precision machining, where tight tolerances and repeatability are essential.
I am passionate about advancing the role of metrology in modern manufacturing by integrating CMM systems with Industry 4.0 principles, including real-time data analytics, process control feedback loops, and AI-driven quality insights. Through my expertise, I aim to ensure that every component measured meets the highest standards of precision and performance.
