Performance Tolerances in Engineering Drawings ID: 2015-023

This invention revolutionizes engineering and manufacturing by prioritizing functional performance over dimensional tolerances in parts and systems.

Technology Overview

The technology detailed in "2015-023d_Redacted.pdf" introduces an innovative approach to engineering drawings by incorporating performance tolerances that focus on the functional interaction of a part or system with its environment. It considers key performance parameters such as drag coefficient, weight, and stress tolerances, enabling a more functional manufacturing and testing methodology. This approach moves away from the conventional emphasis on dimensional tolerances, facilitating a design and testing process that ensures parts meet their intended functional standards more efficiently.

Key Advantages

• Optimizes design and testing processes by focusing on real-world performance
• Reduces the need for measuring individual dimensional tolerances, saving time and resources
• Ensures parts meet intended functional standards more reliably
• Integrates with existing computer-aided design (CAD) programs for seamless adoption

Problems Addressed

• Over-reliance on dimensional tolerances that may not accurately reflect real-world functionality
• Inefficiencies and inaccuracies in manufacturing and testing processes
• Time-consuming measurement and verification of individual dimensional tolerances

• Engineering and manufacturing of parts and systems with specific performance requirements
• Enhancement of computer-aided design (CAD) programs with performance-based tolerance capabilities
• Quality assurance processes in industries requiring high precision and functionality
