The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), the membership association for 3-D measurement professionals, has announced its online attendee registration is open for the Coordinate Metrology Society Conference (CMSC). Held at a different location each year, the CMS will host this year's event at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Murfreesboro, TN, from July 25-29, 2016. "The CMSC is known worldwide for its slate of technical papers and presentations covering measurement and inspection trends, successful applications and innovations in the metrology field, R&D and industry best practices," said a spokesperson. All papers are peer reviewed by the CMS Executive Board, and the top selections are published in the Journal of the CMSC.
The 32nd annual CMSC is a weeklong technology conference for users of portable 3-D measurement solutions applied by manufacturers and science laboratories. The CMS will offer its proctored Level-One and Level-Two Certification examinations during the event. Certification program guidelines and application forms are available on the CMS website at www.cmsc.org/cms-certification. For additional information on these career enhancement programs, contact Randy Gruver, Certification Chair, at certification@cmsc.org. Also during the week, the PrecisionPath Consortium for Large-Scale Manufacturing will conduct a daylong working meeting led by the CMS and UNC Charlotte. Supported by an AMTech Grant from NIST, the industry-driven coalition is developing strategic roadmaps to solve universal technology challenges faced by manufacturers of large, high-precision parts and assemblies. For more information on this initiative, contact Ron Hicks, CMS Committee Chair at ron.hicks@apisensor.com.
CMSC attendees are metrologists, quality control professionals, manufacturing executives and managers, scientists, students and educators looking to expand their knowledge of 3-D portable measurement applications. The Coordinate Metrology Society delivers an extensive Measurement Zone and Education Zone in the Exhibition Hall. During the week, the CMS also presents metrology challenges, educational workshops, industry updates, a local tour and many networking opportunities. "The action-packed CMSC Exhibition Hall will feature the latest in metrology products and services including industrial photogrammetry, laser trackers, laser radars, articulating arms, laser scanners, laser projection systems, indoor GPS, theodolites, inspection software and accessories," said the spokesperson.
The Coordinate Metrology Society is comprised of users, service providers, and OEM manufacturers of close-tolerance industrial coordinate measurement systems, software, and peripherals. The membership gathers each year at its annual Coordinate Metrology Society Conference (CMSC) to gain knowledge of advancements and applications of any measurement system or software solution that produces and uses 3-D coordinate data. The portable metrology systems represented at CMSC include articulating arms, laser trackers, laser radar, photogrammetry / videogrammetry systems, scanners, indoor GPS and laser projection systems.
