GD&T: Working Through the Misconceptions
This article is a continuation of my previous post, “Variation in Production and Why GD&T is Superior to Coordinate Tolerancing”. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) eliminates the trial and error approach to product design. It should be viewed as a design methodology ensuring dimensions and tolerances are developed to suit feature function and mating […]

Variation in Production and Why GD&T is Superior to Coordinate Tolerancing
Today’s engineers have at their disposal an impressive array of design tools enabling them to simulate, and design for many of the stresses and conditions that parts are subjected to throughout the life of a product. Methods used by engineers range from hand calculations to sophisticated computer models. The design process usually begins by creating […]
