Digital Tolerancing Forum

Digital Tolerancing Forum: Join the Discussion

Although many companies are working on implementing model-based tolerancing, there is no forum to discuss technical issues, and lessons learned. To develop an accurate view of the state of the technology, and understand the technical issues and lessons learned in implementing model-based tolerancing, I have established a Digital Tolerancing Forum. 

The Forum is comprised of individuals using various CAD Systems in the transition from 2-D drawings to using model-based tolerances. The Forum shares information on the capabilities, technical and implementation issues, and uses of digital tolerance information.

Topics of discussion:
·     Benefits and uses for model-based tolerancing
·     Embedded GD&T software capability
·     Electronic uses of tolerance information
·     Lessons learned on replacing drawings with electronic tolerance communications
·     Model tolerancing practices
·     Implementation issues
·     Standards usage
·     Cultural issues
·     Hardware and software issues
·     Third party software connectivity
·     Questions from the members

The Digital Tolerancing Forum is a unique forum that discusses the issues surrounding the transition from 2-D drawings to model-based tolerances. If you are not the right person to participate in the Forum, tell other individuals in your organization who may be interested. 

The Dig-tol-forum has been moved from an email format to a section of ETI's message board. If you would like to participate in the Digital Tolerancing Forum, click here.
