May 27, 2020 – The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) announced a training asset, 3D Measurement U or 3DMU , in partnership with Quality Digest . 3DMU is an online video training resource for the organization, educators, and metrology practitioners. The resource offers a first wave of informational videos containing best practices, tricks of the trade, and other themes presented by experts in the field who are members of the CMS. Industrial measurement topics include measurement uncertainty, the Unified Spatial Metrology Network, probe compensation, distance meters, theodolites, laser trackers, laser scanners and more.
This field of videos will be steadily expanding in 2020 and beyond. 3DMU subscriptions are now available for purchase by individuals and organizations. CMS Members receive special pricing, and student groups can get bundled pricing with deep discounts. Metrologists are invited to register for a day-long test drive of 3DMU at no charge at 3DMU.org .
The CMS also officially introduces its first 3DMU training program entitled "Dimensional Measurement Solutions." All training videos are 2 to 4 minutes in length and address a single metrology topic. The training platform is organized with an playlist so users can quickly find the topic they want, when they need it. The user has the ability to access this information on-demand from the shop floor, at a customer site, or from home. This v video training resource will also help metrologists build their base knowledge in preparation for CMS Level-One and Level-Two Certification assessments.
The CMS continues to add content for its membership consisting of novices and experts in the portable and traditional Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) communities. For decades, the society has been shaping, connecting and educating metrology practitioners with a tradition of mentorship. The addition of 3DMU will work to foster a greater understanding of metrology and its influence on industries such as aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, power generation and more. 3DMU intends to serve as a resource to learn about best practices, hone performance skills, and stay on top of innovative metrology technologies and applications.
