The use of 3D measurement technology has grown exponentially in manufacturing and scientific applications, while the current workforce is graying and heading toward retirement. The CMS determined a clear need for certification programs for metrology experts and potential newcomers to the field. Measurement equipment is calibrated to traceable artifacts, yet technicians and shop-floor personnel operating this equipment have lacked industry-recognized proficiency credentials. Their skill level and measurement techniques can significantly influence data collection.
