Founded in 2005, the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC) is a non-profit standards organisation specialising in digital metrology and manufacturing quality data interoperability. It develops and maintains the Quality Information Framework (QIF) and Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS). QIF uses an open, XML-based structure to exchange inspection plans, measurement results, product geometry and quality information across engineering systems. Recognised as ISO 23952:2020, it supports traceability, automated inspection and the digital thread. DMSC promotes international adoption among manufacturers, metrology specialists and industrial software providers.
The DMSC (Digital Metrology Standards Consortium) will be submitting an MBC proposal to ANSI as part of the American National Standard (ANS) approval process.
With the passing of Bailey Squier, co-founder of Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC), its Board of Directors contemplated ways to ensure his accomplishments and legacy are not forgotten. As a symbol of gratitude and admiration for the life and legacy of Mr. Squier, the DMSC Board established the Bailey H. Squier DMSC Metrology Memorial Scholarship.
The Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC, Inc.) is pleased to announce an update to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the MTConnect® Institute. The original MoU was signed in 2011. As technology has evolved, both organizations recognize an even greater need to optimize the way industrial software and machines work together, to encourage manufacturing standards development, and to use data modeling to enable information interoperability by specifying the content of specific information and where it is stored – all with the goal of improving manufacturing efficiency.
Software company Elysium has announced support for QIF 3.0 (Quality Information Framework) in the latest product update of their 3DxSUITE EX9, available August 1, 2021. This newest update offers primary support of QIF 3.0 with bi-directional translation and validation of the MBD portion. Elysium also supports change detection within QIF, as with any supported format.
PDES, Inc. is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSCTM, Inc.). Both organizations seek to improve the ways tools work together to improve standards development, analysis, and define applications of industry standards.
The DMSC (Digital Metrology Standards Consortium), recently had their ANSI/DMSC QIF 3.0 metrology standard harvested, approved, and published by ISO as the new ISO Standard ISO 23952:2020 .
