CMS Certification Review at CMSC

A two day condensed Preparatory Course designed to assist and inform students in the topics covered within the Coordinate Measurement Society’s (CMS) Level-One Certification for 3D Metrology. The course consists primarily of class discussion spurred by a Power Point presentation. Question and answer sessions will take place during the course to ensure knowledge and understanding.

Class takes place 9-3 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Exams are offered on Thursday.
If you intend to take the Certification Exam after the class, you must apply for the Exam via the normal CMS webpage, Professional Certification for Metrologists (cmsc.org). You are urged to begin the acceptance process as early as possible. Additional costs apply for exam registration.

The course reviews the test’s five broad areas of knowledge.
· Interpreting engineering documents.
· Measurement Device knowledge.
· Measurement Planning.
· Measurement Operations.
· Data Analysis and Ethics

Aims & Objectives
Encourage best practices through discussion and example questions
Improve test performance
· Describe test and conditions
· Freshen knowledge of subjects student doesn’t use on a daily basis
· Identify and address gaps in knowledge
· Review GD&T, SPC, and uncertainty
· Review documentation and planning

Measurement uncertainty assessment of articulated arm coordinate measuring machine for length measurement errors using Monte Carlo simulation

Quality assurance of a manufactured product covers a large portion of the total manufacturing cost, influencing the product life cycle cost and its sustainability. Precise dimensional measurements, predominantly through coordinate metrology largely influence the quality control in manufacturing industries.  Portable CMM provides enhanced flexibility and diminished weight as compared to the conventional CMM. Periodic reverification of articulated arm CMM is essential to ascertain accurate and precise dimensional measurements.  In the present experimental investigation, an articulated arm coordinate measuring machine has been verified as per ISO 10360–12:2016 using one-dimensional standard artefact (KOBA Step Gauge, 1220 mm). The measurement uncertainty estimation has been carried out using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and has been compared with ISO GUM (law of propagation of uncertainties: LPU) outcomes. Established expanded uncertainties and measured mean values acquired from the two approaches were observed to be in reasonable concordance.

Metrology Jeopardy Quiz Show

The main attraction of the Zone is the ever-popular Metrology Jeopardy Quiz Show hosted by Bob Elliott. This test-your-knowledge game is based upon the CMS Level-One Certification program and its core body of knowledge. During the CMS Quiz Show, participants will first compete in heats, and each winning team will stand off in a grand finale game to claim the title of 2023 CMSC Champions. All attendees are invited to engage in this fun and interactive platform to test their metrology chops.
We will be hosting 3 Sessions of Metrology Jeopardy on Tuesday and Wednesday with the Final Metrology Jeopardy event being held late Wednesday afternoon. This Final Jeopardy round will be comprised of the winners from the first three sessions. All participants will get a ticket toward a grand prize to be given out at the Wednesday night Banquet. Winners of each round will get additional tickets toward the grand prize.
