Solution
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is a measuring device to find the coordinates of point on a work surface by gradual movement of a measuring probe.
The main applications carried out with the CMMs are Gauging, Scanning, Scribing, Light drilling.
As you can notice that all the applications given above are precision related so the characteristics of potential applications can be
a) it should be requiring precision measurements of samples in 6 degrees of freedom and with great flexibility.
b) it should be requiring through scanning of the object to detect any anomolies or defects.
c) it should be requiring to etch wordings on the object very small and with great precision.
d) it should also be requiring to manufacture precision components which may require drilling, punching etc.
e) it may be quite small and its virtually impossible for any human to work with presicion.
f) it can be used for bulk manufacturing of such minute components with accuracy
g) the potential application should be able to respond to light sensors because it is one principle on which it works
