DMSC

Digital Metrology Standards Consortium DMSC logo 2021The mission of Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC™, Inc.) is to identify urgently needed standards in the field of digital metrology, and to promote, foster, and encourage the development and interoperability of these standards, along with related and supporting standards that will benefit the industry as a whole.  The Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS | ISO 22093:2011) and the Quality Information Framework (QIF | ISO 23952:2020) are two such standards that the consortium has the responsibility to continue development, maintain and support as well as to coordinate and harmonize with other related standards efforts.  The DMSC is an ANSI Accredited Standards Developing Organization, as well as an A-Liaison to ISO.  QIF was harvested by the International Standards Organization and elevated to ISO 23952:2020 in August 2020.  The consortium invites participation within the consortium of other standards groups and activities that seek to resolve the technology and other issues of automated (digital) metrology.

DMSC History

The need for a common communication language in the CAD arena in 1983 ultimately lead to the formation of the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC), formerly known as Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium.

DMSC Executive Director Emeritus Bailey Squier succinctly shares the evolution of the standardization of digital metrology (1983-2008) in this article.

Join the DMSC

We invite you to join the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium!

Make sure that your needs are well-represented in the QIF standard and industry conversation. Collaborate with some of the foremost experts in the manufacturing quality industry.

What is the commitment if I join?

The short answer is that this is up to each individual member. You can choose to participate in one or many Working Groups. When a Working Group is active, there may be 1-hour online conference calls as often as once a week. Once a year, there is a QIF summit at a location in the United States that will last 3-4 days. Participation in any of these activities is not a requirement of membership.
