RENO, Nev., Feb. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The CMSC Society, the eminent membership association for measurement professionals, announced today it will host the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) 2007 from July 16-20, 2007 at the world-class Grand Sierra Resort (www.grandsierraresort.com) in Reno, Nevada. This 5-day event is the only North American conference that caters solely to professionals using portable 3D coordinate measurement technology on their factory floors. The open, educational atmosphere allows attendees to network with a community of expert and novice users, and learn about the latest trends and innovations in the field of portable 3D industrial measurement technologies. Interested attendees or exhibitors will find detailed information about the conference by visiting http://www.cmsc.org.
Expert white paper presentations, workshops, standards seminars, and user group meetings comprise only a part of this professional venue where ideas, concepts, and theory flow freely amongst participants. CMSC 2007 will also feature an Exhibitor Hall showcasing portable measurement systems (PCMMs), software, accessories, peripherals, inspection and measurement service providers who serve the needs of the industrial measurement marketplace. PCMM technology exhibited at the conference includes industrial photogrammetry solutions, laser trackers, laser radars, GPS systems, laser scanners, laser projection systems, articulating arms, theodolites and more. More than forty exhibitors participated at last year's conference.
Call for Papers Continues until April 10
The CMSC Society continues their Call for Papers, and invites end users of the metrology equipment from a variety of industries, leading manufacturers, and science laboratories to submit proposals for white papers covering the successful application of 3D coordinate measurement systems. Abstracts should be submitted no later than April 10, 2007 via email to presentations@cmsc.org. The deadline for full technical papers is May 11, 2007. Notice of acceptance will occur on May 23, 2007. Accepted white papers will be peer reviewed and considered for publication in the Journal of the CMSC.
