NACMA 2010 Annual Workshop and Conference: Meet World Experts on GD&T, Dimensional Measurement Uncertainty, and Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) Accuracy
To contribute to the growth of expertise in coordinate measuring machine technology, improve measurement accuracy and traceability, and to promote awareness and usage of recognized practices and national and international standards. The workshop and conference topics are geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, measurement uncertainty, economics of measurement, small feature measurement, computer tomography, coordinate measuring machine operation certification, and much more.
About NACMA:
The North American Coordinate Metrology Association (NACMA) is a not-for-profit organization that specifically addresses coordinate metrology through workshops and conferences each year, providing one of the largest annual meetings for dimensional metrologists.
The 2010 NACMA officers are members of national laboratories and industry leaders:
Sponsors
Sponsors of NACMA support an important educational and outreach program while networking with hundreds of dimensional metrologists focused on coordinate metrology.
