The Need for a New Standard

The model is nominal only


Current standards did not
include tolerancing of models
Current standards did not

Reduced dimension drawings
were becoming more common
without any standard to
support the practices.

ASME Y14.41 Standard Benefits
Standardize communications relative to
The new standard provides digital data (30 new terms defined )
several benefits to industry.
Provides guidance on how to display
tolerances on models and axonometric
views
Introduces the concept of a product
definition data set
Provide guidance to software manufacturers
Methods for creating and using digital data
are being addressed

Closing Comments

The first version of new


standard leaves several
challenges to be addressed.

Currently the standard is more of a


collection of practices or a toolbox of
math based practices in industry.

27
Closing Comments

The first version of new


standard leaves several
challenges to be addressed.

The current focus is the display of


annotation.

28
Closing Comments

The first version of new


standard leaves several
challenges to be addressed.

Future versions need to address the


transistion between engineering
specifications, the electronic model, and
part inspection.

29
Closing Comments

The first version of new


standard leaves several
challenges to be addressed.

There are gaps in ASME standards that


need to be filled to support math
processes (i.e. tolerances not
mathematically sound, vague
requirements, view dependent
tolerances etc)
