How does a design go from the computer screen to something you hold in your hand? Not being able to fully answer this question is a huge risk in manufacturing because . One of the important tools ...

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 ...

One of the challenges facing precision manufacturers and their medical device manufacturing partners is the increasing feature complexity of tight-tolerance parts. These complex geometries can result ...

Engineers who discount the importance of dimensional tolerance do so at their own risk. It’s like ignoring the odds in Vegas, and often with the same disappointing results. For instance, design a ...

H = all minus. For example, 25.40mm diameter bar to h9 = + Nil, -0.052mm j = equal. For example, 38.10mm hexagonal bar to j10 = + 0.050mm,-0.050mm k = all plus. For example, 160mm hot rolled bar to ...

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 ...

If you want to have your part designs fabricated, you’re going to need to provide the manufacturer with a technical drawing. Yes, 3D printers and many modern machine tools rely on toolpaths created ...

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 ...
