Geometric will preview its latest release of CNC programming automation solution, CAMWorks 2015.

What is GD&T? GD&T, namely “Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing,” is a symbolic language with which to 1) research, 2) refine and 3) ultimately “encode” the functions of each feature of a machine part by specifying permissible limits of imperfection.

Let’s look at what it takes to control the geometry of slots, and see if there is indeed a “best practice.”

“GD&T was developed to address the many problems that had been encountered over the years as companies tried to describe their part geometry.”

GD&T is difficult to get right even though it is very logical. What does “right” mean? Right means several things, but mainly that it imposes achievable, fully function based and only necessary permissible limits of imperfection using absolutely syntactically correct code.

Model-based Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is powerful digital intelligence that can automate and improve quality across the entire manufacturing enterprise.
