The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) has announced a record-breaking number of original technical presentations on tap for the 2018 Coordinate Metrology Society Conference (CMSC) to be held in Reno, NV, from July 23-27, 2018.
The CMS will host an extensive slate of 28 technical papers and presentations for this year's conference programming. The organization serves the specialized needs of portable 3-D measurement / inspection professionals and scientists worldwide. For the first time, the CMS will open its doors to the traditional coordinate measuring machine (CMM) community, and honors their attendance with seven technical presentations for this segment of the industry. The five-day event provides an open, educational atmosphere for attendees and exhibitors to share their experiences and challenges, research, concepts and theory.
28 Original Technical Papers
The CMS has finalized its peer-review of abstract submissions for CMSC 2018, and selected 28 original technical presentations from industry experts representing international companies and organizations such as NIST, NPL-UK, Lockheed Martin, The Boeing Company, Boeing Canada, Navy Sea Systems Command, Tusas Engine Industries Inc., Newport News Shipbuilding, Electroimpact, Hardringe Inc., Capvidia, FFT and more. The scientific community is well represented with papers chosen from Argonne National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Fermi National Laboratory. Prestigious educational institutions are also in the mix including MIT Lincoln Labs, the University of Bath Mechanical Engineering, the Chinese Academy of Science and Tianjin University. The CMS Executive Board publishes top selections from these technical papers in its biannual Journal of the CMSC.
The 2018 CMSC presentation roster will feature topics covering best practices, emerging trends and the application of metrology techniques and technology. Subject matter is wide-ranging from "Laser/Optical Scanning: Technology Overview from a User's Perspective" to "Coordinate Measuring Machines in a Department of Defense Research Environment" to "Automated Navy Radar Array Survey with Laser Trackers." Speakers will explore the use of portable 3-D coordinate measurement systems, traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), laser trackers, articulating arms, photogrammetry systems, laser radar, 3-D scanners and sensors, inspection software and more.
