New at meviy: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Available for CNC Turning
At meviy, we are constantly striving to enhance our services and deliver precision-driven solutions for our customers. Today, we are thrilled to introduce a game-changing addition to our CNC machining capabilities: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT) for CNC turned parts.
Geometric dimensioning and toleranceing are essential in modern manufacturing, ensuring that every part meets the highest standards of precision and functionality. With this new service, we’re empowering engineers and manufacturers to define and achieve tighter specifications, resulting in parts that perform flawlessly, even in the most demanding applications. Whether it’s about maintaining concentricity, flatness, or parallelism, our enhanced capabilities will help you achieve the exact tolerances you need for your projects.
What is Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing?
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing is a system used in engineering and manufacturing to define and control the allowable variation in the shape, orientation, and position of a part’s features using symbols. Unlike traditional dimensional tolerances that focus on size, geometric tolerances specify how far a feature can deviate from its ideal form, ensuring that components fit and function as intended within an assembly.
Common types of geometric tolerances include:
Flatness: Ensures a surface is even and free from waviness.
Cylindricity: Controls the roundness and straightness of cylindrical parts.
Concentricity: Ensures that the centre axis of one feature aligns with another.
Parallelism: Verifies that surfaces or axes are parallel within a specified range.
By incorporating geometric tolerances into your designs, you can achieve higher precision, reduce assembly issues, and improve overall product quality.
