Dimensioning with Geometrical Tolerances

The advantages of the geometric specification of a product are here illustrated by converting a traditional 2D coordinate tolerancing drawing using the geometrical tolerance method. The new language of symbols permits the functional requirements of the products to be fully expressed in technical documentation. Moreover the dimensioning of a workpiece according to the geometrical tolerance method can reduce the ambiguity in the indications and in the interpretation of the dimensional and geometrical requirements of the products in order to achieve not only unambiguous communication between the design, production and quality control entities, but also with the clients and suppliers of the outsourced processes.
