With the advent of 3D printing, a rapid tooling or prototyping process, it is sometimes even more critical since this approach is an additive process &#8212; building up material instead of removing it, as in a machining process.

As mentioned in an earlier post, GD&#38;T(geometric dimensioning &#38; tolerancing— ASME Y14.5) is a baseline tool and industry standard. Many of the principles of GD&#38;T come into use in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cadcraft.wordpress.com&blog=3827744&post=95&subd=cadcraft&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
