Essential for 3D CAD design! Achieving a common interpretation worldwide through geometric tolerances.
Zero ambiguity in drawings. A common language that conveys design intent 100%.
The major advantage of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is that it completely clarifies design intent, which is difficult to express with traditional dimensional tolerances, and eliminates any discrepancies in interpretation at the manufacturing and inspection sites. In GD&T, datum planes (reference shapes) are clearly established, and by specifying positional tolerances and orientation tolerances relative to them, the tolerance zones directly related to the functionality of the parts can be concretely defined. For example, an instruction that regulates the position of a hole based on datum A and B with a tolerance zone of \$\phi 0.2\$ standardizes the basis for manufacturing and measurement globally. This contributes significantly to achieving the goal of "producing cheaply, quickly, and accurately," while keeping manufacturing costs down and ensuring stable design quality regardless of where production takes place. The effect is maximized by combining it with the Model-Based Definition (MBD) approach, which directly adds GD&T to 3D CAD models. Please refer to the materials for detailed examples of correct geometric tolerance illustrations and their impact on global manufacturing quality. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
