Practical tip: Tolerancing of non-dimensionally stable parts
12.02.2026

The rules for tolerancing and measurement in the ISO GPS system apply in principle to rigid workpieces. This means that these parts do not deform by themselves unless additional forces are applied. It is therefore assumed that components in the unassembled state have the same geometric properties as in the later assembled state. However, there are components [...]

New course: Tolerancing of plastic moulded parts
09.02.2026

With the publication of our new in-depth course on the tolerancing of plastic moulded parts, we are expanding our range of courses to include a topic that often leads to uncertainties in practice. Plastic components represent a challenge due to their material

Practical tip: Differentiation of dimensions
14.01.2026

With technical progress, components are being manufactured ever more precisely. As a result, simple descriptions with classic plus-minus tolerances are no longer sufficient in many cases, as they are no longer unambiguous in these deviation ranges.

Practical tip: Entering a reference coordinate system
29.11.2025

With the publication of the revised ISO 5459 in October 2024, which has also been available as DIN EN ISO 5459 since December 2025, there is, in addition to the new default for the

Practical tip: Systematically interpret drawings
22.10.2025

With a systematic approach that supports the reading and interpretation of technical drawings, understanding the content and identifying critical tolerances, for example for work preparation or metrology, becomes much easier.

New feature: Integrated glossary
29.09.2025

More efficient learning with the new integrated glossary. Precision is crucial in technical training - not only in terms of content, but also in terms of language. Particularly with complex topics, understanding often depends on

New course: Interpreting toleration
30.07.2025

Understanding the language of specifications. With the new e-learning course "Interpreting ISO GPS tolerancing", we are expanding our course portfolio and focussing on those who work with ISO GPS product specifications without creating them themselves.

GPSlife at the digitisation conference
19.05.2025

We are exhibiting at the INNEO Conference 2025. On 27 May 2025, the INNEO Conference on Digitalisation will take place in Stuttgart - an established industry event for digital product development, engineering, manufacturing and
