GD&T Applications Webinar Tomorrow! 

Quality 4.0 - How CAD GD&T Drives Model Based Definition with 3DCS Tolerance Analysis Software

DCS Partners with Quality Digest to Deliver Closed Loop Webinar October 25th

Quality 4.0 connects processes and tools, streamlining modeling creation and collaboration. See how tolerance analysis software validates and optimizes GD&T, simulating a digital twin and providing the risk of failure based on part tolerances and the assembly process. These simulations then feed downstream applications, creating SPC and manager reports and critical to quality features to direct measurement plans and manufacturing. The model continues to provide value by utilizing measured plant data to root cause production issues and testing solutions.

How Many Companies Have Been Using Embedded GD&T in Their Process?

DCS asked its clients how often they use Embedded GD&T and if not, when are they planning on implementing Embedded GD&T

What Is Embedded GD&T?

Embedded GD&T is geometric dimensioning and tolerancing applied to a CAD model using platform specific tools and features, often presented as Functional Tolerance Annotations (FTA) in CATIA or Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) in NX and CREO. The GD&T is linked to its referencing features, so that it can be used to describe those part's tolerances, Datum features and locating properties.  It can be a powerful tool for supporting tolerance analysis. 

Digital GD&T Series Part 1 - Embedded GD&T in CATIA, NX and CREO

DCS begins its Digital GD&T Series with a trio of webinars showing how to create GD&T in your CAD platform

Using Model Based Definition with Embedded GD&T - Webinar and Article Series

Digital GD&T Webinar Series Begins This Week - Learn How to Create GD&T in CATIA, NX and CREO

See step by step examples for creating GD&T in CAD in order to support Model Based Definition and Tolerance Analysis

3DCS Software supports Model Based Definition and the use of embedded GD&T. 3DCS is integrated in NX, CATIA and CREO, making it easy to pull that data into your 3DCS model to begin your tolerance analysis.

DCS Training Lab Beta is Now Available for All DCS Customers

The DCS Training Lab supplements DCS Training by providing example cases to learn advanced moves and to practice modeling conditions. 

The DCS Training Lab, created in partnership with HANALL Technology, offers you the ability to supplement your 3DCS modeling at your own pace. The Lab is split into three primary sections, designed to teach basic and advanced skills, and offering guided walkthroughs for building models. 

DCS Showcases Closed Loop Manufacturing at IMTS 2018 - Connecting CAD and SPC Systems

Using CAD to create measurement plans, and feeding measurement data back into the CAD model closes the loop on quality

DCS Vice President of Sales, Donald Jasurda, works with Chris Peuterbaugh, DCS Project Coordinator, to demonstrate integrated tolerance analysis and its connection to QDM SPC Software. 

Dimensional Control Systems Combines CAD and SPC Software to Deliver Closed Loop Manufacturing at IMTS 2018

Dimensional Control Systems shows how Closed Loop connects CAD design with SPC measurement automation and supplier quality

Dimensional Control Systems (DCS), a quality software solutions provider,  will be showcasing successes in Closed Loop Manufacturing at the 2018 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago Illinois, September10-15, 2018. The event will be held at the McCormick Place in downtown Chicago, along with eight other co-located events bringing together over one hundred thousand manufacturing and quality professionals from across the world.
