In the 1950s and 60s, the earliest versions of CAD software began to change the way that companies did product development. Where before calculations and drawings had to be done almost entirely by hand, engineers could now do faster, more robust design and development...
Tolerance360 is the world’s most advanced tolerance analysis management software. Its approach is a paradigm shift that replaces manual-intensive processes. One of the most powerful features of T360 is its ability to automatically update stacks whenever a design...
In 2007’s Next¸ Cris Johnson (played by Nicholas Cage) has a superpower: he can see into his own future, but only by 2 minutes. This power proves to have a variety of uses, such as when he uses his 2 minutes of foresight to try out different ways of approaching a girl...
Don’t be left behind in the dark. Not knowing the importance of all the parts used in a tolerance stack-up can lead to lost time and make it more difficult for engineers to come up with the best solutions for design problems. Sensitivity or contribution...
As humans, our ability to forget things is sometimes a blessing in disguise. The ability to ‘forget’ lets time heal wounds so we can move past tragedy, helps us overcome embarrassment to focus on the future, and allows us to conserve mental and emotional energy by not...
One of the keys to an effective mechanical design process is the ability to quickly identify design faults or make changes to a design to achieve proper part tolerances and fit. In most design processes, a drawing is created with CAD software and the GD&T...
