GD&T is a language for precise communication of complex geometric requirements for parts and assemblies. It specifies tolerances for exact requirements, ensuring understanding among team members.
Electronics manufacturing needs advanced metrology to create high-reliability components. Technology is advancing to combine metrology and microscopy for better defect identification.
Model-Based Definition (MBD) offers a modernized approach to implementing GD&T into electric motor production using 3D models instead of traditional 2D drawings.
The vast digital loop across key domains that CT analysis can play a role in allows it to contribute critical insights back to design from embedded simulation and virtual metrology testing, as well as all phases of process examination and related refinements.
The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) announced that it has developed a new methodology to learn, retain, and transfer knowledge for Geometric Tolerancing & Dimensioning (GDT) across an organization.
Digital twin technology helps organizations to use real-time data, mockups, algorithms, and AI to create a virtual depiction of a physical object, process, or service.

Experts agree that, among other tools, digital twins are emerging as stars of smart factories. These are 3D duplicates of parts, products, and buildings.
For most students, measurement and GD&T is a new subject for them. I get the opportunity to review the basic concepts each year. Let's review some of the elements of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing concepts are often difficult to grasp at first; beginners can have quite a difficult time understanding the basic principles.
In the longest-lasting version of the hypothetical situation, a hungry donkey is placed equidistant between two identical bales of hay. Paralyzed with indecision as to which bale to choose, the donkey will inevitably starve to death.
