Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
1. What is Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) ? Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a standardized symbolic language used in engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models to define the allowable variation in part geometry. It provides a precise method for specifying how parts must be manufactured and inspected, ensuring they meet functional requirements. GD&T… Continue reading Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
Technical drawing
This article sums up all the specifications you need to consider when preparing a technical drawing for any CNC machining project and details the 10 steps to follow to get a flawless design. In the modern world of CNC machining, manufacturing typically starts with a 3D CAD model created using a CAD 3D modelling software.… Continue reading Technical drawing
Setting the datum
In engineering and design, a datum is a reference point, line, or surface used to measure other dimensions. It’s crucial for ensuring consistency and accuracy in manufacturing and design. First, the process involves selecting a feature on a part that will serve as the primary reference. This should be a stable and accessible feature. Maybe… Continue reading Setting the datum
Engineering Drawing
Technical drawings are the universal language of engineering. They communicate precise information about the design, manufacture, assembly, and installation of components and systems. The type of drawing used depends on its intended purpose and the audience it serves : from machinists on the shop floor to project managers overseeing installation.This article covers the principal drawing… Continue reading Engineering Drawing
