2 Design for Manufacturing Tolerances Manifold vs Non-manifold Part Influence on Assembly Assembly Steps
3 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Tolerances in a design tell the inspector how much variance or imperfection is allowable before the part must be considered unfit for use. Tolerance is the difference between the maximum and minimum limits on the dimensions of the part. Since parts are never perfect, a datum feature is used during inspection, to substitute for the perfect datum of the drawing. Datum features are simply referred to as datums
4 Plus / Minus Tolerancing When the part is produced in a manufacturing process, there will be errors. Even though most errors are undetectable to our eye, the variations can be picked up using precise measurements such as a CMM.
5 Manifold vs. Non-Manifold Think of it as Manufacturable vs Non-Manufacturable Can this part be manufactured?
6 Creating an Assembly
7 Inserting Parts Click Browse if parts do not show in dialog box
8 The Assembly Tree The design tree stores all information regarding the parts, mates, materials, and history of the assembly Very useful for manipulating parts
9 Move Component
10 Activity Complete the Lesson 2: Assemblies tutorial Assemble the Vise - If your parts do not fit correctly, use the parts that are shared with you to make the assembly
11 Vice Assembly
