Verisurf Software was selected as the metrology training partner for Open X based on industry acceptance of its’ software and the fact that it is built on a CAD platform. Verisurf has long been a leader in developing and supporting metrology software solutions rooted in Model-Based Definition (MBD). At the heart of MBD is the CAD model, it is the absolute authority to define a part or entire product by providing a defined 3D data set, including all necessary GD&T annotations for inspection, measurement, analysis, tool building, and reverse engineering. MBD is the undisputed definition source for all these applications and more.

With the introduction of Open X Talent, the value is exponential; we are now able to direct customers to a resource for skilled talent, ready to work,” said Nick Merrell, Executive Vice President of Verisurf Software.
