Dimensional Management: A Comprehensive Introduction

By Mark Curtis
2002, 7 X 10 illustrated hardcover, 224 pages
Includes CD of Demonstration Software
OVERVIEW
A complete treatise on the subject of dimensional managemant, this book is designed to provide a comprehensive systems approach to all facets of dimension and tolerance development, analysis, inspection, and documentation. This systems approach focuses on optimizing the interchangeability of multi-component manufactured products. It also 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 undesired effects can be achieved. College-level engineering and technology students and working professionals working in the design and manufacture of precision parts and assemblies will come to rely on this book as an invaluable resource.
