Tolerance aware product development using an enriched hybrid digital mock up (2020)
Journal Article
Friel, I., Butterfield, J., Robinson, T. T., & Marzano, A. (2020). Tolerance aware product development using an enriched hybrid digital mock up. CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology, 30, 118-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cirpj.2020.04.009

Current practice in three-dimensional (3D) part construction and product assembly definition within a digital mock-up (DMU) is based on the nominal sizing of geometry. This approach does not reflect real part dimensions when they are manufactured or... Read More about Tolerance aware product development using an enriched hybrid digital mock up.
