(CMS: Benbrook, TX)-- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) has announced the organization has chosen 25 technical white papers to be presented at its annual Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC), July 12–16, at the world class Grand Sierra Resort located in Reno.

White paper submissions were received from metrology experts and scientists from research laboratories, universities, and leading manufacturers in North America, Eastern and Western Europe, India, and Japan. Topics to be presented are as diverse as the speaker roster and include aligning the James Webb Space Telescope, Airbus A320 aircraft assembly-line alignment, and other applications of photogrammetry, laser trackers, articulating arms, laser radar, 3-D scanners, 3-D vision systems, and more.

The CMS is also pleased to announce its 2010 keynote speaker, Thomas A. Greenwood, program director of the A350XWB Leading Edge Spar at Spirit AeroSystems Inc. headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. The conference will host four workshops covering the coordinate metrology certification initiative, 3-D imaging, gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R), and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). The CMSC 2010 also features an exhibitor hall showcasing portable coordinate measurement systems (PCMMs), software, accessories, peripherals, and service providers servicing the needs of the industrial measurement marketplace.

More than 35 exhibitors participated at last year’s conference, where ideas, concepts, and theory flowed freely among its participants. Conference attendees come from prominent science and research laboratories, educational institutions, and industries such as aerospace, satellite, automotive, shipbuilding, power generation, and general engineering.
