Creo EZ Tolerance Analysis extension is a powerful tolerance stackup and gap-analysis solution used by design engineers to improve the quality and manufacturability of products using statistical tolerance analysis.
Dimensioning Parts:On parts requiring female tooling — which is normally the case in twin-sheet forming — the tooling should be dimensioned from the outside. On male areas, dimension the tooling from the inside. Only the surface of the part against the mold can be controlled. This will ena...
Dimensioning Parts: On parts requiring female tooling—which is normally the case in pressure forming—the tooling should be dimensioned from the outside. On male areas, dimension the tooling from the inside. Only the surface of the part against the mold can be controlled. This will enable both...
Model-based definition has a barrier to adoption and it is the tools currently available. Take a look at what else Jennifer Herron, the founder and CEO of Action Engineering and author of the book Re-Use Your CAD: The Model-Based CAD Handbook.2D, had to say. ...
Without GD&T all tolerance stack-up analysis is merely a game; all manufacturing processes must rely on tribal understandings and hope, and all inspection is pure invention on the part of the inspector. Nowhere is GD&T more important than in the ne...
GD&T is an acronym that stands for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. It is a symbolic language used by designers to communicate manufacturing constraints and tolerances clearly. This...
GD&T Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is defined as an international language used for communicating engineering design specifications based on the function and intent of part features. This engineering language uses the necessary definitions, symbols, and application rules to clearly document the nom...
Model Based Design (MBD) is a method of tying dimensions, notes and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to the actual 3D solid model rather than keeping that data with the 2D drawing. This facet of MBD is called Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI). ...
If you are involved in design or manufacturing, you may be familiar with the term, “GD&T,” or “Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing”. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is a set of rules and GD&T symbols used on a drawing to communicate the int
Material modifiers help the designer to better describe what is dimensionally acceptable by providing insight into additional tolerances caused by the presence or absence of material on a part or feature. What are Material Modifiers? Bonus Tolerance - As the actual size of a feature departs from ...
