Design Deliverables. ASME Y14.41-2003, ISO 16792: 2006
and rules developed by Advanced Dimensional Management.
Other Book News:
In 2008, Bryan revised and created
the 11th Edition of The IHS Drawing
Requirements Manual, and wrote an
extensive new chapter on PMI and
Advanced Applications of Solid
Modeling, which includes 3D-
GD&T™ and using Digital Data and
Annotated Solid Models as
Deliverables.
This is a book in itself. It is based on the ASME Y14.41-2003
and ISO 16792-2006 standards, and MIL-DTL-31000C, and
includes material on using PMI, 3D-GD&T™, and 3D digital
data in industry, and on annotating 3D assemblies and
weldments, which is not yet addressed in any of the standards.
Contact Us for more information about how we can help you
understand and implement 3D-GD&T™, Annotated Models,
Model-Based Annotation, Model-Based Definition, the ASME
Y14.41-2003 and ISO 16792: 2006 standards.
We want to help you succeed in this vital new area.
Our Approach and Materials:
Advanced Dimensional Management's leading-edge courses, books,
and training materials represent the latest thinking on GD&T,
Tolerance Stackup, Tolerance Analysis, PMI, MBD, and 3D-GD&T™, Functional Dimensioning and
Tolerancing and Dimensional Management. Our courses and materials
are based on many years hands-on experience in design, engineering,
manufacturing, assembly, and inspection environments, and we take
a balanced, rational approach to the needs of our clients. Our
materials and explanations are mathematically rigorous, yet they
are presented in simple terms that are easy to understand. Our
training courses are coordinated - the content of each course augments
and reinforces the other courses. That is why our training series
are so popular. Our newest course is our PMI, MBD, and Advanced Applications
of Solid Modeling Seminar, which discusses using 3D Data as Design Deliverables,
and is based in part on ASME Y14.41, ISO 16792 and Bryan's work for IHS and
industry.

Our Experience:
Our experience is varied, ranging from one-of-a-kind development
parts to high-volume, mass-produced parts, in quantities of up to
millions of parts per year. We have experience working in many
industries with many processes, both manual and automated (CNC),
including machining, casting, forging, injection-molding, stamping,
forging, and many others. We have experience with many different
product and part types, including extensive experience with flexible
(non-rigid) and rigid parts and assemblies. We are comfortable
working with very small parts and very large parts - our clients'
products run the gamut from parts you can barely see to parts that
are so large they must be hoisted by a crane.
We offer our services throughout the country and around the world.
We routinely work with engineering, design, inspection,
quality, manufacturing and assembly staff, suppliers and
customers, ensuring that everyone understands with the
specifications. Let us help you increase your productivity,
optimize your processes, reduce your cycle time and increase
your quality.
Advanced Dimensional Management LLC has helped many companies to
become more successful by improving their product definition and
optimizing their dimensioning and tolerancing practices. Call us
today to discuss how we can help you and your company achieve
these important goals.
