    Lightbulb Boundaries & there Purpose

    Hi All,
    I've seen plenty of methods to calculate certain boundaries per ASME Y14.5 2009. Can anyone share applicable engineering/design reasons these become very important to know?

    1. (Inner Boundary)
    2. (Outer Boundary)
    3. (Least Material Boundary)
    4. (Max Material Boundary)

    Keep it light & right.

    Knowing where the as-manufactured materials boundaries are may be critical to fit and function and sometime form. Thin or thick – know it.

    Inner boundary – clearance or enough material for function (strength).

    Outer boundary - clearance or enough material for function (strength)

    Least Material Boundary – the worst-case boundary that exists on or outside the material of a feature(s) and is defined by the combined effects of size and geometric tolerances. applicable to a Datum feature only (LMC applies to a feature of size related to a datum).

    Maximum Material Boundary - the worst-case boundary that exists on or outside the material of a feature(s) and is defined by the combined effects of size and geometric tolerances. applicable to a Datum feature only (MMC applies to a feature of size related to a datum).
    Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
