Why is 3D Tolerancing Important?

To get something manufactured, a client has to first “specify” their requests. The dimensional description of the mechanical part to manufacture is identified as the “nominal specification”, and the final actual manufactured object is called the “result”. The difference between the result and the nominal specification is a major source of conflict. This difference needs also to be specified; giving rise to what is called the “tolerance specification”, combined with the nominal dimensional specification.

A specification, whatever it may be, must be comprehensive, consistent and understandable without interpretation by both the client and supplier: this is what 3D Tolerancing is.

3D Tolerancing can be described as a modern technical language which has uniform meaning to all. It vastly improves communication in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) from design to manufacture. Today, 3D Tolerancing has become an indispensable management tool; it enhances productivity, quality, and revenue for companies of all sizes around the world who develop and produce products.

Cool and easy way to introduce 3D Tolerancing knowledge in your classroom
