dimensionerande
Dimensionerande, often referred to as dimensioning in English, is a fundamental process in engineering, manufacturing, and technical design. It involves specifying the size, shape, and location of features on a part or assembly through the use of dimensions, tolerances, and annotations on technical drawings or digital models. The primary goal of dimensioning is to ensure that the manufactured product meets the intended specifications and functions as designed.
The process begins with defining the geometric requirements of a component, such as lengths, angles, radii,
Key principles of dimensioning include:
- **Functional dimensioning**, where dimensions are given based on the functional requirements of the part rather than
- **Chain dimensioning**, where dimensions are given sequentially along a feature, though this can lead to cumulative
- **Coordinate dimensioning**, where dimensions are given relative to a reference point or datum, improving accuracy and
- **Tolerance specification**, which defines acceptable variations in size, shape, or location to account for manufacturing imperfections.
Dimensioning is critical in ensuring quality control, as it provides a clear reference for inspection and verification.
