Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) – Processes, Types and Applications
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a critical part of modern manufacturing. It allows you to check the quality and safety of parts and assemblies without damaging the part you are testing. As a mechanical blogger who is obsessed with manufacturing technology, I have seen how useful NDT can be in figuring out if a product is […]
Everything About the CMM
Think about a world where precision is everything, and the smallest mistake can cost you days of production. In that world, the Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is a hero. In modern manufacturing, you need a CMM to measure the complex parts and assemblies that you’re making. It’s critical to ensuring that your parts are good. […]
First Article Inspection (FAI) Explain
First Article Inspection (FAI) is a critical step in ensuring product quality and compliance with standards. This important process acts as a gatekeeper, preventing expensive mistakes from going from the prototype stage to mass production. What is First Article Inspection? First Article Inspection is a detailed examination of the very first sample from a production […]
Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) Explain
Most people eventually come to realize how important precision is in design and manufacturing. One of the tools that is really good at helping you do that is Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T). GD&T not only refines your engineering drawings, but it also makes your manufactured parts more reliable. GD&T is a symbolic language that […]
