Dimensional Control Fundamentals: Automotive Body-in-White and Interior Trim (Dimensional Management Book 2)

Dimensional Control Fundamentals describes the Dimensional Control Procedure and how it's used to achieve Dimensional Quality. Drawn from twenty years of experience as a Dimensional Control engineer, the book provides the key fundamentals necessary to implement Dimensional Management. While it's written for automotive body structures, the principles apply to any manufactured assembly.

The old adage is, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." Curt Larson has done both, implementing and managing Dimensional Management on numerous automotive programs and taught hundreds of engineers how to achieve dimensional quality. He has written several training manuals on the subject and taught engineers and college students the application of GD&T to automotive parts and the application of Dimensional Control. He was there at the beginning and has numerous successful programs to his credit. It's this experience that has been codified and described in layman's terms so that an engineer with only a few years of experience in design or manufacturing can understand and apply it.
