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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Composite bearings are employed in a diverse array of industries due to their strength, wear and friction characteristics, as well as their capacity to operate efficiently without the use of external ...

A new standard establishes guidelines for documenting digital 3D models. The recent ASME standard Y14.41 establishes requirements, exceptions, and guidelines for documenting digital solid models in 3D ...

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 ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...
