(CMSC: Weatherford, TX) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), in collaboration with UNC Charlotte, has completion of the first working meeting of the PrecisionPath Consortium for Large-Scale Manufacturing. The new project is funded by an Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech) grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department.

At the 2015 CMSC (Coordinate Metrology Society Conference) in July, the PrecisionPath Consortium held its inaugural meeting to discuss team-building strategies, short- and long-term goals, and project timelines. The group is tasked to identify and prioritize the technology needs of the aerospace, defense, energy, and other industries that manufacture large-scale, high-accuracy parts and products.
