dimensionierte

Dimensionierte is the past participle of dimensionieren in German and functions as an adjective meaning “dimensioned” or “sized with specified dimensions.” It is used to describe parts or components whose geometry has been defined through design and documented in specifications or drawings. In German technical language, dimensionierte Teile are those whose measurements have been determined for fabrication and inspection.

Dimensionierung, the process of dimensioning, is central to engineering and manufacturing. It involves selecting lengths, diameters, hole patterns, tolerances and the positional relationships between features to ensure function, manufacturability and interchangeability. In technical drawings, dimensions are conveyed with dimension lines, extension lines and arrows, often accompanied by tolerance indications and fit notes. The result is a dimensionierte part that can be produced and verified against the intended geometry.

Standards such as DIN and ISO provide rules for how dimensions and tolerances are stated and interpreted. Typical examples include a length of 20 mm, a diameter of 6 mm with a specified tolerance such as Ø6.00 ±0.05 mm, or a positional tolerance for hole centers. Dimensionierte components are intended to be manufactured within these constraints and subsequently inspected to confirm conformity.

In practice, dimensionierung is a fundamental step in design and manufacturing workflows, enabling clear communication of geometry between design engineers, machinists and quality inspectors, and supporting reliable production and assembly.
