Lehtihet, Ph.D. COURSE OBJECTIVE Designers invariably translate functional and assembly requirements of a product into prints of exact geometry augmented by material, surface, dimensioning and tolerancing specifications. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing specifications play a critical role in the functional aptitude, producibility, assembly and ultimate cost of the product. The material contained in this module will introduce the participants to most tolerance analysis functions required for the planning, sequencing, set up and execution of a logical set of machining operations that will transform a raw material shape into a finished shape compatible with design specifications. Module topics include the specification and interpretation of geometric tolerance constraints, an introduction to the sources of dimensional and geometric variability in machining, error budgets of dominant machining operations, the treatment of design and manufacturing datums, elements of tolerance control in fixturing, conventional and adaptive tolerance management in sequential machining processes, tolerance analysis for operation sequencing in process planning and the fundamentals of dimensional metrology. One of the principal aims is to enhance operational skills required to analyze, influence and manage the producibility of a machined part.
