The measurement study will focus on the importance of practical testing. Data collection activity is coordinated by the National Physical Laboratory, which is the national measurement institute for the United Kingdom, and sponsored by the Metrologic Group, a designer and manufacturer of dimensional control systems and 3-D inspection software headquartered in Meylan, France. Members of the CMS Certification Committee assist in the data collection. In the past two years, more than 300 conference attendees have also participated in the data collection activity.
Metrology is the science of measurement, and professionals in this field work in diverse industries such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, and more.
The measurement study results will be analyzed by the CMS Certification Committee and used to support the first industry-recognized, level-one personnel certification in portable 3-D metrology, which is scheduled for completion by the end of 2012. The CMS also plans to deploy a level-two equipment-specific certification that would include laser trackers, area scanners, laser radars, handheld scanners, and data post processing.
Other CMSC activities include the second annual 5 Billion Micron Fun Run/Walk on Wed., July 18, from 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. at the New Orleans City Park. Sponsoring this event is InnovMetric Software Inc., a developer of 3-D metrology solutions based in Quebec, Canada. InnovMetric will provide transportation from the hotel to the park, and water and T-shirts. More than 70 CMSC attendees participated in the event last year.
The CMSC is also collaborating with the National Marrow Donor Program to host a donor registry drive at this year’s conference on Wed., July 18, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the Roosevelt ballroom. Thousands of patients need a bone marrow donor who can make their life-saving transplant possible. The CMS is proud to support this worthy cause.
