Welcome to the Website of the
Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium
The mission of Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium
(DMSC™, Inc.) is to identify urgently needed standards in the field of
dimensional 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) and the Quality Information Framework (QIF) 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. 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.

Special Note: If you or your organization discover a problem with any DMSC Standard -- either DMIS or QIF -- OR if you wish to suggest an improvement, you may submit your issue via our Standard Improvement Request (SIR) Website: www.dmsc-standards.info

QIF (Quality Information Framework) is an American National
Standard supporting Digital Thread concepts in engineering applications ranging
from product design through manufacturing to quality inspection. Based on the
XML Standard, it contains a Library of XML Schema ensuring both data integrity
and data interoperability in Model Based Enterprise implementation.
QIF supports Design, Metrology, Manufacturing, and is critical to
the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Because it is XML based, QIF can be easily
integrated with Web/Internet applications and unlike other existing standards,
there is no competence barrier standing in the way for industry to adopt QIF. It
also effectively supports new concepts such as IoT (Internet of Things).
Finally, all discrete
manufacturing industries now have a standard platform that ensures quality while
minimizing costs and making processes more transparent! The QIF 2.1 Standard is available at no cost
via download.

Burleson, Texas, USA February 19, 2016 — The (DMSC, Inc.)
Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium announced today the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) has approved QIF v 2.1 (Quality Information
Framework, version 2.1) as an American National Standard. This new standard enhances the previous ANSI Standard, QIF V2.0 containing quality
planning and measurement results, by providing a complete and accurate 3D
product definition with semantic geometric and dimensional tolerances,
definitions for measurement resources, template for measurement rules, and
statistical functionality. All of this to
satisfy the digital interoperability needs for a wide variety of use cases
including feature-based dimensional metrology, quality measurement planning, first
article inspection, and discrete quality measurement.

The DMSC, Inc. launched a New and Integrated Approach to Quality Measurement Standards definition and development on August 11, 2010. Under this new approach, the Quality Information Framework (QIF) calls for an entirely new standards structure for coordination and compatibility To learn about the QIF visit the QIF Standards Website. The site contains a lot of valuable information which will impact the entire industry.
The QMS (Quality Measurement Standards) Committee is the consensus body for the DMSC. THE QMS coordinates the standards efforts of All Working Groups within the structure of the Quality Information Framework (QIF). To see the most recent QIF structure document

Introduction and How to Participate;
also, Benefits and Justification
In today’s environment, standards are essential to national
and international economies, to world trade, and to the success of individual
companies. Lack of interoperability
between manufacturing automation systems is known to waste hundreds of millions of dollars
every year. A new organization, the Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium
(DMSC), Inc., has been established which recognizes the critical importance
of industrial manufacturing and metrology standards. The objective of the consortium is to take an
active role in the establishment and coordination of these existing and
emerging technologies. (Click on any Topic Heading in these pages for more information.)
