New DMIS standard no longer carries patent stigma

Article Abstract:

Equipment manufacturers can use the newly released dimensional measuring interface standard, DMIS 3.0, without fear of patent infringement. Unlike the previous standard, ANSI/CAM-I 101-1990, DMIS 2.1, this standard is designed specifically to help manufacturers streamline inspection and design processes. It does not rely on the use of computer aids, making operations free of computer-aided design systems. It also offers several improvements such as enhanced scanning, added sheet-metal support and enhanced bi-communication function.

DMIS plows ahead on rocky road

Article Abstract:

Proposed additions to dimensional-measuring-interface standard (DMIS) 3.0 for inspection equipment include an object-interface-request specification that could accurately define a standard for the communication between the software controller and its associated inspection equipment. The proposed change, an attempt to address the three previous versions of DMIS currently still in circulation, is expected to allow manufacturers to purchase equipment that fits their needs and is compatible with the software.

DMIS seeks international acceptance

Article Abstract:

The dimensional measuring interface standard (DMIS) is likely to move on from a US standard to an international one since it is on the fast track as an International Organization for Standardization standard. As DMIS 3.0 moves toward the ISO process, it is possible that some modifications and developments will occur. These changes include additional input/output capabilities, additional sensors, more object orientation, and Automotatic Programmed Tool support.
