Dimensioning and Tolerancing
Design representation:
enough information to
manufacture the part precisely
inspect the manufactured part
[geomtery, dimensions,
tolerances]
Projections
Theoretical technique to map 3D objects to
2D
Dimensions
To assist machinist:
e.g. distance between centers of holes
Tolerances
imprecision in machining 
must specify the tolerance
range,
What is a ‘good level of tolerance’?
Designer: tight tolerance is better
(less vibration, less wear, less noise)
Machinist: large tolerances is better
(easier to machine, faster to produce,
easier to assemble)
Tolerances  interchangeability
Tolerance and Concurrent Engineering
Why ?
Tolerance specification needs knowledge of
accuracy, repeatability of machines
process capability
…
Part 1. Projections.
3D models: expensive, difficult to make
=> need 2D representaitons
Images must convey feasible 3D objects
Albrecht Durer’s machine [14??AD] (perspective map)
1. Renaissance architects
2. Modern CAD systems
(a) 3D rendering, image processing
(b) Mathematics of free-form surfaces (NURBS)
Importance of perspective maps
Why perspective maps ?
larger, farther  same image size
same size, farther  smaller image
Human sight and perception
parallel lines converge to a point
The vanishing point (or station point)
Effect of vanishing point on perspective map
Image on the ‘picture plane’ is a perspective of the 3D object
[Is the object behind in perspective view ?]

Perspectives and vanishing points
Perspectives in mechanical drafting Not good !
(1) parallel lines converge  misinterpreted by the machinist
(2) Views have too many lines
Orthographic views
A mapping where parallel lines remain parallel
How ?
Set the vanishing point at infinity
Another problem:
Back, Sides of object not visible (hidden surfaces)
Solution: Multiple views
Orthographic views:
Language of engineering communication
View direction selection in orthographics
Maximize true-size view of most faces

Isometric view: gives a ‘3D image’
each side has equal length
(a) orthograhic (b) top view rotated by 45° (c) Isometric projection
each side has equal length
(a) orthograhic (b) top view rotated by 45° (c) Isometric projection
Different types of projections
All engineering drawings must be made to scale
Datum: A theoretical geometric object
(point, line, axis, or plane) derived from
a specific part/feature of a datum feature on the part.
Uses:
(1) specify distance of a feature from the datum
(2) specify a geometric characteristic (e.g. straightness)
of a feature
Part 2. ANSI dimensioning
Basic Dimension:
The theoretically exact size of a feature or datum
Feature:
A geometric entity on the part, (hole, axis, plane, edge)
Datum feature:
An actual feature of a part, that is used to establish a datum.
Limits: The max/min allowable sizes
Largest allowable size: upper limit
Least allowable size: lower limit.
LMC (Least Material Condition)
MMC (Maximum material Condition)
Conventions for
dimensioning
(a) Specify tolerance for all dimensions
(b) All necessary , sufficient dimensions
X over-dimensioned X
X under-dimensioned X
Reference dimensions:
Redundant dimensions, in ( …)
(c) Dimensions should be
(i) marked off the datum feature
(ii) shown in true-size view
(iii) shown in visible view
Geometric  Dimensioning and  Tolerancing
(a) Size of a feature
Specified by a basic size, and tolerance: 2.50±0.03
upper limit =
lower limit =
No of digits after decimal  precision

Problems in Conventional tolerancing:
(a) Assumes perfect surfaces
(b) No use of Datums
(c) No specification of form tolerances
(d) X±t/2, Y±t/2  rectangular tolerance zone (cylindrical preferred)
Datums
A theoretical feature (e.g. plane, line)
Serves as a global coordinate frame for the part
during different activities such as
design, manufacturing and inspection.
Each design must specify the datum planes
(or other datums)
Datum feature
The actual plane on the part (imperfect)
corresponding to a (perfect) datum plane
