David Hasenauer, CODE V Product Manager Introduction During the design of any optical system destined to be manufactured, it is critical to define a fabrication and assembly budget. This budget must consider any potential compensation that will be used during the manufacturing process to mitigate the performance degradation introduced by fabrication variations. It is important to specify the be...

Tolerancing is an important issue in product and manufacturing process designs. The allocation of design tolerances between the components of a mechanical assembly and manufacturing tolerances in the intermediate machining steps of component fabrication can significantly affect the quality, robustness and life-cycle of a product. Stimulated by the growing demand for improving the reliability an...

The map and the model designed by a designer and presented to a manufacturer in the form of a map is the result of his knowledge and innovation. The manufacturer, in turn, uses his best effort to produce a part accordingly. However, because of production problems and raw material, producing a precise part is very difficult and costly. One of the most important problems in this regard is designi...

Abstract Tolerance allocation methods significantly contribute to the qualification of Additive Manufacturing (AM) for (small-)series production ensuring high performance and efficiency. However, their usage prerequisites availability quantitative, reliable information on impact assigned tolerances resulting manufacturing costs. The given article proposes a novel methodology systematic developm...

In this paper we present a new framework for worst-case toleranced assembly planning of planar mechanical systems. Unlike most assembly planners, which produce plans for nominal parts, our framework incorporates the inherent imprecision of the manufacturing process, which introduces uncertainties in the shape and size of the assembly parts. It accounts for the uncertainty of the relative part p...
