Can a Mill be used as a CMM?

Good afternoon, I have a question that may be a bit silly.

Can a mill (machining operation) be used to (1) make a part and (2) inspect / certify the part?

I am not as familiar with the whole machining and V&V discussion, but I'm used to the "make a part on machine X and test the part on equipment Z concept."

The follow-up question - if this is possible - is: Can the machine be certified in terms of its calibration.

Many thanks for your comments.

Technically, yes! Renishaw Metrology have made in-cycle gauging for years (others do too, but I worked for Renishaw). It might be a stretch to get a lab to calibrate the mill, but it *could* be done.

When I worked for Lockheed, the metrology guys would laser our CNC machines every 6 months. Was something to see. SO yes I would think that a Mill could be calibrated with a DRO,.,.
