Hasco America has worked with various cooperation partners to produce a standardized color table (VDWF Guideline 2020-1) for mold and toolmakers to easily identify workpiece tolerances in 3D CAD design. Conventional CAM systems used in production are able to recognize the clearly defined colors and automatically derive tolerances. The table is available on the Hasco website.
According to Hasco, misinterpretations can be effectively avoided when performing conversions from 2D drawings — the actual dimensions are automated through corresponding measuring systems and compared with the 3D model. This simplifies process automation. Furthermore, this tool can be used for easy exchange of models for production at other locations.
