Geometric Design Tolerancing: Theories, Standards and Applications pp 1–33Cite as

Modeling, Representation and Processing of Tolerances, Tolerance Inspection: a Survey of Current Hypothesis

  • Chapter

Abstract

Tolerance is necessary as perfect dimensioning can seldom be achieved in mass production. Tolerance is crucial not only for the functionality of the component, but also for the economy of manufacturing. The increasing use of CAD systems and integrated CAD/CAM systems entails the development of sophisticated tolerancing techniques. An important ingredient of the success of engineering programs is the intelligent specification of tolerances for design and manufacturing. Significant research (200 references) has been led in the last ten years in an attempt to satisfy these requirements.

What we are trying to do here is to place the main research works relatively to the hypothesis they start from and highlight the fundamental bases of an integrated approach of tolerancing. We are in particular concerned with the notions of distance, parametrimtion, parametric and geometric tolerancing, functional tolerancing and metrology processes. A paragraph deals with the evolutions seen in standards. Finally, in the last part, we present the concepts of the specification of actual parts so as to show the research work that remain to be carried out..
