The right geometry format depends on what the supplier has to do with the data, and on what the receiving software can actually read. STEP can carry parts, assemblies and...

Bolt-Hole Position Tolerance: Why Center Distan...
A bolt-hole pattern can pass every center-distance check and still sit in the wrong place. Pairwise spacing stays the same when the whole pattern shifts or rotates, but a position...

Neither 3D scanning nor a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is the better method in general. The right plan comes from the features you must verify, so allocate method by feature....

Circular Runout vs Roundness: Check the Datum A...
Roundness describes the form of a circular feature by itself. Circular runout describes how a surface varies when the part is rotated about a specified datum axis. A surface can...

Fracture Toughness vs Charpy Impact: When Charp...
A Charpy result and a fracture-toughness result answer different questions, so a good Charpy certificate cannot stand in for toughness evidence when the concern is an existing sharp flaw. Charpy...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the hole-drilling strain-gage method do not measure the same volume of material or rely on the same assumptions. Two results that look contradictory, even with opposite...
