  • 09/2022 | First investment in a 100% optical µCMM for a French university research center 
    The National School of Mechanics and Microtechnics of Besançon is investing in a Bruker Alicona µCMM. It is the most accurate 5-axis optical CMM in its category and has been especially designed to meet the metrology needs of, e.g., micromechanical applications encountered in aeronautics, tooling, cutting, automotive and medical sectors. SupMicroTech ENSMM is a historical customer of Bruker Alicona and this new precision CMM is the third Bruker Alicona measuring equipment that supports SupMicroTech ENSMM's research teams specialized in the development of micromechanical applications (MIFHySTO Platform). This new investment aims to increase the measuring capacities of the establishment within the framework of its own research activities, but also supports development services for industries regionally as well as in  France and in neighboring areas.
