Welcome to the second issue of CMSC World—the place to catch up on the latest happenings in portable 3-D metrology and imaging. This is the official newsletter of the Coordinate Metrology Society, and once again we are gearing up for our Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference—“the” conference to see and learn about the latest applications in the high-precision, mobile metrology industry.

Expert white paper presentations are the heart of our conference, and your participation is requested. Perhaps you are working, or have been involved, in a successful metrology project. Has 3-D metrology solved a problem for you? Have you been you involved with a process improved by the integration of 3-D metrology—for automated inspection cells, assembly cells, machining, or manufacturing process improvement? Perhaps you have discovered a new application or issue to solve. These end-user stories define the core of CMSC and are of great interest to the members of our society.
