Learnt about dimensions, tolerances and assemblies

Find the root cause of the problems that our target users have

build a product that meets our user needs.

team require to create the assembly model of the prototype.

Ask specific questions and understand what the target user want

Types of Dimensioning

Superimposed Running dimensioning

Parallel Dimensioning

Consist of several dimension from a common reference surface

Simple parallel dimension in order to reduce the space on drawing

Chain dimensioning

Should only be use if the function of the objects would not be affected by the accumulate tolerances.

Combined dimensioning

Uses for both chain and parallel dimensioning

Dimensioning small features

Arrow head are to be place outside of the extension lines

Dimensioning of multiple features

Dimension multiple same dimension use N x dimensioning

Dimension of radius

Show the radius with canter of the radius location drawing

Dimensioning of circle, arc and hole

Circle is dimension by its diameter

Arc is dimensioned by its radius

Holes are located by their centerlines

Dimension angles

It is mark with a curve dimension line and have a degree symbol

Rule to dimensioning

Avoid dimensioning to hidden line

Dimension should not be duplicate

Dimension line should not overlap each other

The important of tolerance

Bilateral Tolerance: allowed to vary in two directions from the specified dimension. Both directions need not vary by the same amount.

Unilateral Tolerance: allowed to vary in only one direction

Limit Tolerance: the upper and lower limits of the dimension are specified
