training courses
The training course on geometric product specification and tolerance analysis addresses the issues related to tolerance management and the approach known as "Dimensional Management", which defines the activities involved and their sequence for achieving the desired quality at the lowest possible cost. We offer a wide range of training courses – scheduled, on-demand and customized – designed to meet the varying needs of individuals and/or the company in which they work: SO-GPS, ASME-GD&T standards, Tolerance analysis and model-based definition, and Software technologies training.

CASE STUDY
Dimensional management in modern manufacturing demands more than just accurate geometric tolerances—it requires data consistency, traceability, and automation across the entire product lifecycle. Traditional practices like annotated PDFs and Excel-based inspection plans introduce risk and inefficiency by detaching product and manufacturing information (PMI) from the 3D model. Siemens’ NX Inspector addresses this challenge through the introduction of Model-Based Characteristics (MBC)—standards-compliant, machine-readable data objects that convert each PMI requirement into a uniquely identified, traceable element within the CAD environment.

CASE STUDY
This article explores the practical implementation of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) according to the ISO GPS standards, focusing on the functional definition and consistent application of Datum Reference Frames (DRFs). DRFs, derived from a component’s functional geometry and assembly sequence, constrain six degrees of freedom to ensure stable alignment and reproducibility during production and assembly.
