Project 3

Project 3: GD&T

Project Overview
In the first project, you created a set of parts that assemble to form the product of your choosing. The
third project will expand your prior work to include geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T),
in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2018. You will be required to address all aspects of GD&T, including
datum selection and control, application of feature control frames, etc.

Project Requirements
1) Apply appropriate geometric dimensioning and tolerancing to the eight drawings that you
completed for Project 1. This should include:
Adding size tolerances where appropriate.
Identify and control datum features.
Apply feature control frames, as appropriate, to other features on the part.
The GD&T applied to the drawing should ensure proper assembly and function,
especially where two of the components assemble together.
Note: Every feature and/or surface should be toleranced in some way. You will lose points if you
skip or ignore features of the part.
2) Provide a written discussion that explains your rationale for all applied tolerancing. Each part
should be discussed separately.

Submission Details
Projects will be uploaded to UBlearns before the due date listed in the syllabus. You will need to
upload the following:

1) A document containing the following (in the following order):


An exploded view of the assembly with product description; this is for reference and can
be reproduced from Project 1.
Part 1 Drawing (you can use a screenshot of the exported PDF in this section)
Part 1 GD&T description
Part 2 Drawing
Part 2 GD&T description
Etc.

*See Appendix A for an example of how to format the drawing and explanation in the document.

2) PDF files for the 8 part drawings. You will lose point if the drawings are not properly exported as PDF
files. These files will be used for reference if needed.

DO NOT UPLOAD A COMPRESSED FOLDER CONTAINING YOUR DOCUMENTS.

See Appendix B for grading details.

Appendix A: Example of Document Layout (Movable Jaw from Table Vise)

IMPORTANT NOTES

The image is a high-quality screen shot of the exported PDF. It should fill the entire page width so that
it can be easily viewed in the document. Do not rotate the image- it makes it very difficult to read.

A detailed explanation of your thought process is required for full credit. This will allow us to gauge
your full understanding of GD&T.

Additional examples are available in a separate document.

Movable Jaw Part 07


Final Drawing:

Assign and Control Datums


The long rectangular extrusion constrains the movable jaw in the stationary jaw, so this will be used for
the primary and secondary datum features. The two side surfaces will be used as Datum A because
they are larger and will provide a more stable datum. The top and bottom surfaces will be used to
establish datum B. Datum A and datum B are both center planes, since opposing surfaces are both
equally important.

Project 3

The size tolerance is controlling the flatness of datum A (rule #1). Datum B is perpendicular to datum B,
with MMC utilized to ensure fit with the stationary jaw.

A third datum is needed to remove the last translational degree of freedom. The surface where the grip
plate is mounted is selected for datum feature C, as this interface is more important than the clamp
screw surface. This datum is controlled to be perpendicular to both datum A and datum B. A flatness
control is also added due to the clamped interface with the grip plate.

Apply Geometric Tolerances


A general profile tolerance is applied to control the location, orientation, and form of the surfaces that
do not interact with other components.

Consider the interaction with the Clamp Screw


A tighter orientation control is applied to the left surface, as this surface contacts the clamp screw. The
location of the through-hole for the clamp screw is controlled by position, with the MMC modifier used
to ensure fit.

Consider the interaction with the Grip Plate


The location of the two mounting holes is controlled by position. Datum C is now the primary datum
as it directly contacts the grip plate. A projected tolerance zone is used to account for the grip plate
thickness.

There is also a ledge that the grip plate aligns with. It is important that this ledge does not come inside
of the grip plate boundary. Profile is used to control this location, with a unilateral tolerance zone
where there is zero variation outside of the part (the entire tolerance zone is inside the part).
