Abstract: In this work, a geometric model for tolerance analysis has been carried out. Geometric reasoning has been implemented in the model to simulate the manufacturing process and, then, the assembly sequence. The proposed geometric model has been applied to a case study consisting of two circular profiles due to the turning process, and a hollow rectangular box. The two circular profiles have been assembled inside the box by considering the gravity, and the friction among the parts and the actual points of contact with and without using the manufacturing signature. Matlab® software has been used to implement the geometric model for tolerance analysis. The results have been compared with those obtained by using a literature model with and without considering the manufacturing signature. This work aims to be a first step towards the integration of the design and the manufacturing in a concurrent engineering approach.
