Join the Coordinate Metrology Society!
Founded in 1984, the Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) is a large membership of users, service providers, and OEM manufacturers of close tolerance, industrial coordinate measurement technology. These metrology systems include inspection software, traditional CMMs, theodolites, GPS, laser projection systems, laser trackers, laser radar, photogrammetry/ videogrammetry systems, scanning devices, and articulating arms.
The Coordinate Metrology Society is devoted to expanding and promoting the usage of mobile metrology systems. The membership assembles each year at the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) to learn about the latest in-use advancements and new product developments in measurement software or systems that produce, utilize, and analyze three-dimensional coordinate data.
Membership in the Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) connects you directly to the largest professional community dedicated to 3D metrology. Members gain exclusive access to the CMSC Technical Library, a growing collection of industry papers, presentations, and practical knowledge shared by experts from aerospace, shipbuilding, manufacturing, and research. CMS also supports career growth through professional development resources and certification opportunities, helping practitioners strengthen their skills and credibility in an increasingly precision-driven industry. Members may attend the annual CMSC conference, where the community gathers to exchange ideas, explore emerging technologies, and build valuable professional relationships.
Beyond technical resources, CMS fosters meaningful professional engagement and leadership opportunities. Members receive early access to society news, initiatives, and volunteer opportunities, along with subscriber-only updates and industry insights that keep them informed about developments shaping the metrology field. CMS is also proud to support initiatives such as Women in Metrology, which help expand participation and mentorship within the profession. Whether you are advancing your career, expanding your technical knowledge, or connecting with peers across the global metrology community, CMS membership places you at the center of the discipline.
Annual membership dues provide access to the members’ area on the website. This area contains annual conference proceedings, technical papers, and access to the Membership Directory.
