Opportunities and Constraints in the Standardization of Geometrical Product Specification

A key focus of the CIRP CAT 2020 is the role of standardization in GPS specification, and the constraints and opportunities provided by standards throughout the design lifecycle, including in the verification of products. This focus is supported by two Keynote presentations from the chairmen of the ASME and ISO committees that develop standards for the specifications of geometric tolerances. The CIRP CAT conferences provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and discuss the implications of new and evolving research in the areas of geometrical tolerancing, assembly analysis, modeling of manufacturing processes, and standardization.
