AJ Mennuti is a metrology engineer at Cummins Inc., with over 5 years of experience in GD&T and dimensional metrology. His graduate research was focused on the implications of the Y14.5 rule “s” throughout industry. Currently he is focusing on large scale metrology and updating corporate standards so that they remain relevant in the next generation. Mennuti graduated with a master’s degree in metrology engineering from UNC Charlotte in May 2020.
In Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) there has been a long-standing conflict between the worlds of specification and measurement. The goal of specification is to ensure that components will function; the goal of measurement is to ensure that manufactured components meet those functional requirements.
