The GD&T Hierarchy Textbook (The Hierarchy of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Series)

Benefit from 30 years of continuous improvement. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing is not new, but there is a newness about it. Over the last 30 years Don Day has continuously worked to develop this 160 page seminar text. The result is a tool that facilitates and maximizes learning. The entire text is in landscape format which made it possible to include more complex drawings than are usually found in a GD&T text. Many of the illustrations are solid models of actual parts including some from Don's own product, the Inter-Mec Air Clutch Brake. The GD&T Hierarchy, is used throughout to illustrate the relationships between the 14 geometric tolerances. Don walks you through a brief history of engineering drawings. He goes on to prove how it is not possible to utilize the latest developments in solid modeling, computer aided manufacturing and automated inspection without GD&T. The most useable geometric tolerances are featured with numerous application examples. Highlights of the text include: ? Numerous Rules of Thumb ? Overlays to illustrate concepts ? Flowcharts ? Dynamic tolerancing diagrams
