Benbrook, TX – TheCoordinate Metrology Society(CMS) announced today their official Call for Papers for the 30th annualCoordinate Metrology Systems Conference(CMSC). The CMS is the eminent membership association for measurement professionals around the globe. The organization seeks papers that explore the successful deployment of 3D coordinate measurement systems, industry best practices, scientific research and developments, and initiatives associated with portable metrology and related applications. The 2014 CMSC will be held in North Charleston, SC from July 21 - 25, 2014. The Coordinate Metrology Society convenes each year at the CMSC, a unique event designed for users of portable, high-precision measurement technology utilized to inspect manufactured and assembled components on the factory floor.
