This text contains selected contributions from the 7th CIRP International Seminar on Computer Aided Tolerancing, which was held on 24-25 April 2001, at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, France. Tolerancing research is of major importance in the fields of design, manufacturing and inspection. Designers use tolerancing as a tool for expressing functional intents and for managing geometrical variations during a product life cycle. This book focuses in particular on Geometrical Product Specification and Verification which is an integrated tolerancing view and metrology proposed for ISO/TC213. Common geometrical bases for a language allowing to describe both functional specification and inspection procedures are provided. An extend view of the uncertainty concept is also given. Geometric Product Specification and Verification: Functionality Integration gives an excellent resource to anyone interested in computer aided tolerancing, as well as CAD/CAM/CAQ. It can also be used as a good starting point for advanced research activity and is a good reference for industrial issues.A global view of geometrical product specification, models for tolerance representation, tolerance analysis, tolerance synthesis, tolerance in manufacturing, tolerance management, tolerance inspection, tolerancing standards, industrial applications and CAT systems are also included.
