Course Assignment ME-GTI, Autumn 2020

Version 1.0
Background:

This GTI course assignment is focusing on practical use of GPS tolerance system, and you will engineer, design, tolerance, build
and inspect your own designed parts for the assignment.

Your task:

• The first task is to define and create 2 seperate parts, that are planned to be assembled with as tight a tolerances as
possible. To control the assemble proces, you need to define either planes, taps or pilot pins- or a combination. Beside that,
you create geometry, that is toleranced using GPS. Your parts should also include a pattern of tap/holes. Before you start
the final design proces you need approval for the selected design, so email a short description to CMS and KRP for
approvement. Deadline is Friday 30’th October

• Your designed parts should be 3D designed in CAD and documented in 2D drawings with all relevant tolerances and GPS
types and values annotated on the drawing. Also defining and explaining the used Datum System is very important. If you
can hand in PMI data, that is of course considered positive.

• The partsize should be max 100x100x100 mm due to the scanning.

• You will manufacturer your parts and are free to decide, which proces you want to use. Probably either 3D printing or CAM
manufacturing. In both cases, you need a realistic estimation of the tolerances to expect, and the level should of course
influence your tolerances for both GPS and dimensions. Also, if you decide to 3D print, then use the same 3D printer and
dont ”mix” between printers. You are encouriged to use testprint to gain level for the expected tolerances from 3D printing or
CAM manufacturing.

Course Assignment ME-GTI

• Manufacture your parts by either 3D print or milling. If you find it relevant, you could consider to manufactere one of the 2
parts with different print technologies and inspect the difference between different manufacturing solutions. But this is
considered an add-on option.

• After manufacturing then scan your parts with GOM scanner – and please book time for scanning in proper time at Erik
Karsten Hougaard (294353@via.dk). Erik is joining the GTI course, so you can discuss scan issues during lessons.

• Inspect the final result from your scanning in GOM Inspect and document the results, either by GOM reports or your own
designed result sheet

• The entire project is described and documented in a report , that includes reflections of all phases described in this
assignment. The length of the report is max 15 pages. You hand in:

- Report in PDF format

- All CAD files and Drawings. You are free to use any CAD system, but if you dont use Inventor, then hand in
STEP files.
- GOM Projectfiles

• Deadline for handing in is Monday 30’th November on ItsLearning

• As a group, you will receive one mark for the Course ssignment , and that mark counts 60% of the final personal mark.

Have fun and we look forward to the final result.
