Interlaboratory Empirical Reproducibility Study Based on a GD&T Benchmark
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ASME Y14.5 geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and ISO-GPS (geometrical product specifications) standards define tolerances that can be added to components to achieve the necessary functionality and performance. The zone that each feature must lie within is defined in each tolerance. Measurement processes, including planning, programming, data collection (with contact or without contact), and data processing, check the compliance of the part with these specifications (tolerances). Over the last two decades, many works have been realized by the metrology community to investigate the accuracy, the measuring methods, and, specifically, the measurement errors of fixed and portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). A review of the literature showed the progression of CMMs in terms of accuracy and repeatability. However, discrepancies were observed between measurements using different CMMs or operators. This paper proposed a GD&T-based benchmark for the evaluation of the performance of different CMM operators in computer-aided inspection (CAI), considering different criteria related to the dimensional and geometrical features. An artifact was designed using basic geometries (cylinder and plane) and free-form surfaces. The results obtained from the interlaboratory comparison study showed significant performance variability for complex GD&T, such as in the composite profile and localization. This, in turn, emphasized the importance of GD&T training and certification in order to ensure a uniform understanding among different operators, combined with a fully automated inspection code generator for GD&T purposes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
