Dimensional Management
Introduction: engineering methodology combined with computer-simulation tools used to improve quality and reduce cost. The objective is to create a design and process that "absorbs" as much variation as possible without affecting the function of the product.

MBD: Model Based Definition
CAD files used to exchange PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) data. Opportunities of data digitization and data standardization along the product development process.
Enrico Boesso | EnginSoft |
GD&T: ISO & ASME standards
Current regulatory framework and future trends. Main reasons for which your company should be aware of these standards (and why it is not!).
Gianmaria Concheri, Roberto Meneghello | Università di Padova |
GD&T: basic concepts
Role of the standards in design intent communication: functional requirements, basic concepts in geometric deviations, datum reference frames, geometric & dimensional tolerances.
Francesco Leali | Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia |
GD&T Advisor
Validation of the tolerance annotations based on the adopted standard: an aid for the standardization from a dedicated tool.
Chris Wilkes | Sigmetrix |
Tolerance Analysis and Synthesis (Optimization)
Effect of the propagation of parts-related tolerances to the final product: calculation of 3D tolerances chains, preliminary (virtual) design validation and smart corrective actions. Optimization of the tolerance widths based on the functional requirements and production-related costs.
Enrico Boesso | EnginSoft |
Dimensional Controls
Leverage MDB in dimensional controls: automation of the inspection plans, conformity of the measures to the functional requirements, statistical process control and virtual evaluation of non-compliances.
