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 ...

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) has been around since the 1940s, yet it is unappreciated as a way of finding bad designs before parts get made. • Tolerances are a vital part of ...

GD&T is an international design standard that uses 14 standard geometric tolerances to control the shape of features. GD&T emphasizes the fit, form, and function of a part by comparing the physical ...

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 ...

Medical device customers often say, “The design is close to lockdown.” This means that the list of requirements has been met and that the project is nearing handoff to manufacturing. The next steps ...

Take Sigmetrix, for instance—a software solutions provider that helps users achieve robust designs through tolerance analysis and the correct application of GD&T. During 3D Experience World in Houston ...

Introduction to GD&T provides a basic introduction to the symbols and terminology of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, or GD&T. GD&T is an international design standard that uses 14 standard ...
