Dimensional Management: A Comprehensive Introduction
About the Author \ A highly regarded and esteemed teaching professional, Dr. Mark A. Curtis began his career at Eaton Corporation where he gained significant industrial experience in tool design, inspection, manufacturing engineering, supervision, and product design. After 10 years he became a professor at the College of Technology at Ferris State University, where one of his most important achievements included launching a new baccalaureate degree program in Product Design Engineering...

This book is designed to provide the reader with a comprehensive systems approach to all facets of dimension and tolerance development, analysis, inspection, and documentation. Often referred to as "Dimensional Management," this approach focuses on optimizing the interchangeability of multi-component manufactured products. And it demonstrates that through the detailed description of known manual and computer-aided tolerance analysis techniques, an understanding of manufacturing variation and the mitigation of its undesirable effects can be achieved. A complete treatise on the subject, this book features a unique chapter devoted to state-of-the-art computer-aided tolerance techniques. This chapter is complemented by a CD-ROM-included with the book-demonstrating a family of Sigmund software products through a detailed user-friendly PowerPoint presentation. These proprietary computer-aided tolerancing products were developed and are sold by Varatech Engineering Consultants, and are quite possibly the most refined and powerful software of their type available on the market today. What's more, this book contains more than 125 detailed illustrations and tables and offers a detailed chapter on GD&T as specified in the national dimensioning and tolerancing standard, ASME Y14.5M 1994. This comprehensive resource is sure to serve as an effective primer for college-level engineering and technology students and as a reliable handbook for working professionals involved in the design, manufacture, and quality assurance of precision parts and assemblies. Booknews A primer for college engineering and technology students and a handbook for professionals who want to optimize the interchangeability of multi-component manufactured products. Curtis (technology and applied science, Northern Michigan U.) describes manual and computer-aided dimensioning and tolerancing techniques that can help mitigate the undesirable effects of dimensional and process variation in the design and manufacture of precision parts and assemblies.
