Digital Tolerance

Model-based design (MBD) is a method of annotating computer-aided design (CAD) models with geometric and tolerancing information that allows engineers to draw directly onto a 3-D model. It shows promise for improving and accelerating design, manufacturing, and inspection processes. Many companies find it difficult to trust an electronic file versus a printed 2-D drawing kept in a safe place, but they may have to adjust as more companies adopt 3-D modeling.

Tuning in to Human Factors

Three-dimensional printing is a rapid prototyping process that builds objects by slowly laying materials such as thermoset resins. Desktop 3-D printers are now relatively inexpensive, at under $10,000. Like other rapid prototyping processes, 3-D printing faces impediments to widespread business adoption. However, despite the drawbacks, some small entrepreneurial companies have based their business plans on 3-D customized printing for the consumer market.

Design is the process of conceptualization, analysis, evaluation and verification of the form and function of products and systems.  Good design engineering requires a deep understanding of customer needs, service environments, user processes, and requirements, industry standards, materials, manufacturing processes, and tolerances. Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are often employed to facilitate design engineering work, such as calculations, modeling, and simulations.
