0007// Geometry characteristics which allow (or not allow) for material condition modifiers

Material condition modifier is a very useful concept in GD&T for us to reduce rejection for acceptable usable mating part (MMC application), protect wall thickness (LMC application) and etc.

However, not all the circumstances allow to use material condition modifiers.

So, in this post, we will summarize all the circumstances allow and not allow to use material condition modifiers.

1) Geometry characteristics allow material condition modifier

2) Geometry characteristics NOT allow material condition modifier

In order to help you understand when we can use material condition modifier in each type of geometry characteristic, we summarize it in a matrix form as shown below.

All in all, we hope this post is useful for you to decide when you can assign a matarial condition modifier for your GD&T control next time.

Thanks for reading =)
