GD&T's A Nightmare In Blueprint Form

GD&T's A Nightmare In Blueprint Form
Engineers see a simple mechanical part. Machinists and QA see a nightmare of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing symbols that might as well be ancient hieroglyphics. Nothing says "I hate you" quite like an engineer adding a flatness tolerance of 0.013mm to a surface that will never touch anything. The real engineering challenge is finding a machinist who won't plot your murder after seeing those GD&T callouts.

Electrical Engineers' True Nemesis

Electrical Engineers' True Nemesis
The eternal battle between electrical engineers and mechanical precision! While EEs boldly declare "I fear no man," they're immediately humbled by GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) standards. These mechanical engineering specifications are the stuff of nightmares for those who live in the world of electrons and circuit diagrams. Why worry about voltage spikes when a 0.005mm tolerance requirement can send you into cold sweats? Mechanical precision is the kryptonite to the electrical engineering superhero!

Did You Actually Want Those Tolerances To Stack Like That Or...

Did You Actually Want Those Tolerances To Stack Like That Or...
Engineers watching non-engineers encounter GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) is like watching someone play UNO for the first time. "Draw 25 cards or explain datum reference frames" might as well be written in hieroglyphics. The look of pure defeat when someone realizes their perfectly designed part won't fit because they ignored stackup tolerances is a special kind of schadenfreude. Manufacturing engineers have been dining out on these mistakes since the industrial revolution. Nothing says "I should have paid attention in engineering class" quite like realizing your 0.005mm tolerance just turned into a 0.5mm disaster.
