I thought I would post a CMM video of a program I made. The CMM in this video is my Mitutoyo 12/12/10. X and Y travel is 47" and 39" in the Z axis. This part is pretty big if I had to put it at an angle. In this program, I am using a scanning Module from renishaw that utilizes touch probe measuring on most of the part, but when you see it measruring tight tolerance holes like the press fit dowel pin holes, I actually programmed the CMM to scan the holes. Instead of taking 5 or 7 points in a hole, scanning I can adjust the pitch to .005" which means in scanning the hole, I'm telling it to take a point every .005" until it goes the 360 degrees around the hole. So I'm taking like 100 points for higher accuracy.

The complete full scan. From here, I could take measurements off of this scan if it was a First Article. Or, I could merge this to a step, Iges, or solidworks and many other types models and once their merged I can put a color chart to it, so depending on the color of the surfaces of the scan, you match it up the the color chart th5 says what color is how far off nominal. So if s diameter is +/- .005 I can make anything that shows red to be over or under .005. Green to show like .002" off nominal, and blue would be. O01" from nominal. However you would want it. I will do a follow up video showing that. If your company could use data like this from one or more of your components. I can offer this service in many ways. If you had enough samples to do a Cp/Cpk study, or just want to see variation from part to part. Give Alternative Measuring Solutions a call or email for more information or a quote.
