GD&T Software

The Need for "Intelligent" or "Functional" GD&T Software

There exists a great demand for GD&T usage that can successfully be utilized.  The need for intelligent GD&T Software is driven by several factors:

What is GD&T?

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a symbolic language for unambiguously communicating permissible limits of imperfection in real-world manufactured parts. While a designer may conceive a precise, perfect model in his CAD system, real manufacturing processes are not perfect; variation is introduced to the real manufactured parts. To ensure proper assembly and functioning, the designer needs to specify how much variation is allowed in the real parts. GD&T is the language for communicating these limits of variation on the form, size, orientation, and location of parts features.

INTRODUCING - GD&T SOFTWARE / ADVISOR

Sigmetrix' vision for GD&T SOFTWARE is a tool which allows for:

• Creation - Enables efficient, intelligent application of functionality, syntactically correct GD&T in the 3D model environment while providing increased productivity compared to standard processes
  
  
  
• Validation - Enables informative analysis, visualization and function oriented repair of existing GD&T
  
  
  
• Education - Provides comprehensive, in-process, best practice advice on Datum Feature selection, Geometry Control Tool selection, downstream manufacturing and inspection impacts and much more, using the ASME Y14.5 Standard based encyclopedia
  
  
  
• Reusability - Creates "intelligent" annotations that are usable by downstream processes, including Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer Aided Inspection (CAI), and Tolerance Analysis
