Calypso CMM Programming for Medical Device & Aerospace Teams

Tight tolerances, picky drawings, and a CMM queue that never seems to get shorter. We write clean, reliable Calypso programs and train your people to run and build them, so your quality team can keep up with production. Based in Watkins, Minnesota, we serve clients across the United States and worldwide.

Sound familiar?

Parts are waiting on the CMM because there's one programmer and too many new part numbers.
Complex features like freeform profiles, curves, and tight GD&T callouts take forever to program and prove out.
First article and new product launches stall while programs get written and debugged.
Programs were written by different people over the years, and only one person really understands them.
New operators need training, but nobody has time to teach while also keeping parts moving.
Your customers or contracts put limits on who can see drawings and models.

None of this means your team is doing anything wrong. It usually just means there's more measuring to do than people to do it.

How we help

ZEISS Calypso CMM programs

Offline or on-site programming for any ZEISS CMM, star probe or RDS head. Every program comes with:

Compatibility with your Calypso version, new or old
A list of the stylus systems and probes you need
Detailed setup and fixturing instructions
Custom fixture design and a ballooned drawing, if needed
Debugging and minor edits

On-site and remote Calypso training

Training built around your people and your parts: a refresher for experienced programmers, the basics for new operators, or a deeper dive into topics like curves. On-site, live remote, or with the LearnCMM.com video courses.

Consulting, GD&T, and metrology support

Help with GD&T interpretation, measurement strategy, and tricky features, plus quick remote support when a program misbehaves. No need to spend hours stuck on one problem.

Secure handling of controlled data

Victory Programming LLC is ITAR-registered and compliant, using PreVeil encryption software. We take the privacy of your information seriously, and will gladly sign a non-disclosure agreement. If your parts can't leave the building, we can supply our own training part and model.

How we work together

NDA, if you need one. Send your NDA and we'll sign and return it promptly.
Send your drawings. Email your part drawings and tell us which dimensions to include. We'll need the CAD model once the project is approved.
Get a scoped quote. Programming is quoted per part, based on scope and complexity, with an estimated completion time. Training is scoped to your team and goals.
Approve and schedule. Send a PO to schedule.
Delivery and follow-up. Programs are test-run on the simulator before we send them, with setup instructions. If something unexpected comes up, we stay with it until it runs smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with medical device and aerospace manufacturers?

Yes. Whether you make delicate medical instruments or aerospace components, we write Calypso programs and train teams for tight-tolerance, hard-to-measure parts.

Can you handle ITAR or export-controlled data?

Victory Programming LLC is ITAR-registered and compliant, using PreVeil encryption software. We take the privacy of your information seriously, and will gladly sign a non-disclosure agreement.

How is programming priced?

Each part is quoted on its own scope and complexity, since a simple bracket and a freeform turbine part are very different jobs. Send drawings for an estimate, usually within 24 hours.

Do you travel? Where do you serve?

Yes. We serve clients across the United States and worldwide. We travel for on-site training and programming a few times a year, so book early.

What if we can't share our parts or drawings?

We can train using our own training part and model, and we'll work within your security rules.

What are your business hours?

Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM Central Time.

Got a CMM backlog or a team that needs training?

Send your drawings and tell us what you need. You'll get a scoped quote, usually within 24 hours. We work with clients across the U.S. and worldwide.
