The training “Automatic measurement programming and comparison/contrast of measured values on Coordinate Measuring Machine” took place from 07 to 11 December 2022 at LILAMA 2 International Technology College in Dong Nai.  Megatech Company, an authorised training partner of Mitutoyo, conducted the 40 hours further training for vocational teachers of LILAMA mechanical engineering faculty. The course upscales the training offer of LILAMA 2 on smart manufacturing for a digitised machine tools industry.  

Ten LILAMA 2 mechanical teachers participated in the training and were well-prepared for every imaginable 3D coordinate measurement challenge, both now and in the future with maximum flexibility. With its specialist expansion modules, MCOSMOS focuses on very specific measurement requirements from enterprises such as ISHISEI, Fischer Asia Viet Nam, Jincheng, that are jointly cooperating in training with LILAMA 2.  

Ms Phan Thi Anh Tu, master trainer in CNC metal technology, expressed that “Before the training, we only handle the coordinate measurement manually. The upgraded version of MCOSMOS software helps us teachers a lot to train our students in automatic measuring based on 3-Dimensinal Computer Aided Drawing model and compare with the real products”.  

The existing Coordinate Measuring Machine at LILAMA 2 will become an efficient information center with MCOSMOS in addition – a powerhouse of design, production, and quality control. Teachers, TVET students and further training participants of the industry will be at ease to approach the production process with streamlined measurements, as well as convenient and reliable data. 

The practice-oriented training course was conducted in the frame of the Development Partnership with the Private Sector (DPP) “Vocational Training for Smart Manufacturing in Machine Tools”. The DPP is implemented jointly by the cooperation partners Siemens Limited Company Vietnam, LILAMA 2 International Technology College and the Programme “Reform of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Vietnam” and supported by the develoPPP.de programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in cooperation with the Vietnamese Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET).
