Understanding GD&T

Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) complements traditional dimensional tolerancing by letting you control 14 different geometric characteristics. It applies tolerances to the form of ...
Companies in nearly every industry save time and money when designers and manufacturers pin down product requirements and production capabilities early in development. Mechanical-tolerance ...
Quality costs may consume 25% of total revenues in manufacturing businesses, mostly from rework, scrap, warranty, product-liability claims, and recalls. The Six Sigma quality initiative helps ...
To design a reasonable dimensional tolerance of a transmission shaft, the higher product quality while lower manufacturing cost must be considered. This paper provides a mathematical model and a ...
Tolerance compatibility between concrete and other building components that interface with it has been a costly problem because of the cost of remedial work and the negative effect on schedule. At the ...
The world’s fastest digital manufacturer of custom prototypes and low-volume production parts is helping to make life easier for design engineers by guaranteeing specific dimensional tolerances for ...
