ASME - PRINCIPLES OF GAUGES AND FIXTURES The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) provides standards for dimensioning and tolerancing across various engineering applications, including the development of gages and fixtures. These principles, outlined in ASME Y14.43, provide guidelines to ensure that gages and fixtures are manufactured to a high level of precision, helping to ensure that the components they measure meet the required tolerances. Below are the main principles of dimensioning and tolerancing for gages and fixtures according to ASME standards: 1. Design for Interchangeability Gages and fixtures are designed for repeated use, meaning they must meet strict tolerance...
Color & Trim (also known as Color and Materials or C&M) in the vehicle development process refers to the design and selection of colors, materials, finishes, and textures for both the interior and exterior of vehicles. It is a critical aspect of automotive design that aims to create visually appealing, cohesive, and harmonious environments that reflect the brand identity, target audience preferences, and market trends. Color & Trim designers work closely with other teams involved in vehicle development, including interior and exterior designers, engineers, marketing professionals, and suppliers, to ensure that the chosen colors and materials meet aesthetic, functional, and...
