Activity 3.3 Making Linear Measurements
|
Procedure
Use dial calipers to make the following measurements. Remember that you can make four different types of measurements with dial calipers. Take careful measurements - you will use your measurements later when you model these parts in 3D solid modeling software. Conclusion 1. What additional tools may have helped to measure these parts? Tape Measure 2. Revisit number 1 above. Measure at least five of the dimensions of your part using a standard ruler and record the measurements in brackets next to each caliper measurement. Which measuring device (the caliper or the ruler) provides the best measurements? Why? |
