Edin Hadzic

Edin Hadzic, one of our CMM technicians, has been working in quality control since he moved to the U.S. in 1999, though he unofficially began earlier, during his time in Germany. He holds an A.S. degree from Triton College, as well as certificates in Quality Control with CMM (Wright College), Advanced Blueprint Riding (Oakton Community College), Sheffield CMM Measurement Concept MeasureMax+ (Giddings & Lewis), and Calypso Basic Training (Carl Zeiss).

1. How do you see this technology improving in the future?

I wouldn’t be surprised if in the near future someone introduces a new line of CMM—not only with new, improved software but also some kind of wireless remote probe.

2. What do you like most about coming to M2M every day? And what's the strangest thing you've ever measured?

At M2M, I like the family-like atmosphere the most. I didn’t measure many strange things [in my past jobs], because I was, for a very long time, in the same industry (dental), but had opportunity to measure needles, very small screws, anodes, filaments, etc. Now with M2M, I am looking forward to seeing some strange things. I don’t have any preferences about what to measure; I just like a challenge, and any new job has something new in it that requires creativity and new ideas.

3. What would the world be like if there were no such thing as dimensional inspection? How important is it that "everything fits"?

Dimensional inspection is very important, and without it would be impossible to make so many innovations in all fields.

4. What do you like to do when you're not measuring things at M2M? If you were vacationing on a sunny beach, would you people-watch, build a sandcastle, or rent a metal detector and search for buried treasure?

If I am not at M2M, I try to spend time with two of my daughters, taking them to soccer practice and fishing or just enjoying time together doing work in the backyard. If vacationing on a beach, I would like to rent a metal detector, but my younger daughter wouldn’t let me, so I would probably be building a sand castle with her.
