International representation

The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) continues to expand educational activities for our members and the industry with the publishing of technical papers in the CMS Journal, certification,  demonstrations and presentations that are all delivered by world leading experts and innovators in the field of metrology.

The annual conference (CMSC) provides the platform for an internationally represented exchange of knowledge and understanding in an open forum that allows for a wealth of discussion and networking for all.

 

The Coordinate Metrology Society is devoted to expanding and promoting the usage of mobile metrology systems. The membership assembles each year at the Coordinate Metrology Society Conference (CMSC) to learn about the latest in-use advancements and new product developments in measurement software or systems that produce, utilize, and analyze three-dimensional coordinate data.

 

The CMS also publishes The Journal of the CMSC twice a year and devotes its pages to the finest white papers presented by industry experts each year at the conference. Topics covered include diverse applications of portable, three-dimensional measurement technology. The society also publishes CMSC WORLD, a quarterly eNewsletter that delivers the latest news, case stories, feature articles, and more covering the field of metrology.

 

Membership dues are $75 per year. There are many ways you can engage with the membership from volunteering during the conference, running for a position on the Executive Committee, or serving on a sub-committee of the organization. This professional society is ours to grow. Be a part of it!
