TRAINING PARTNERS

Partner / Student Access

Optional

Training-provider students can attach a partner code to their QS account. This lets QS attribute subscriptions to the correct training partner and show any eligible partner offer.

No training partner linked.

Partner codes identify the referring organisation. Store trial/discount eligibility is confirmed by Google Play or the App Store before purchase.

ENGINEERING CALCULATORS

Calculate

True Position + MMC

Calculates diametrical position error from X/Y deviation. MMC mode adds bonus tolerance from feature-size departure.

Enter X/Y deviation and the drawing tolerance.

Assumes a diametrical cylindrical positional tolerance zone. Verify the drawing's exact feature-control frame, datum scheme and applicable standard before acceptance.

Limits & Fits — by Drawing Limits

iPhone: enter the number, then tap ± beside a signed field to make it negative.

Enter the deviations shown on the drawing. This build calculates the resulting worst-case clearance/interference rather than reproducing ISO 286 tables.

Hole

Shaft

Hole/shaft limits and fit type will appear here.

ISO Metric Thread Assistant

Quick theoretical basic-profile calculations for 60° metric threads. Use controlled thread specifications and calibrated gauges for product acceptance.

Basic thread geometry and tapping-drill estimate will appear here.

SPC / Capability Quick Check

Paste measurement results separated by spaces, commas or new lines. This quick calculation uses the overall sample standard deviation.

Mean, standard deviation and capability estimates will appear here.

Formal Cp/Cpk normally uses a within-process sigma estimate based on an appropriate subgrouping method. This build displays Pp/Ppk from overall sample s and a clearly labelled Cpk-style estimate using that same s for quick shop-floor screening only.

Right Triangle Solver

θ is measured between the adjacent side and hypotenuse.

Enter two known measurements.

Angle from Rise / Run

θ = atan(rise ÷ run)

Dimensional Tolerance

iPhone: enter the number, then tap ± beside a signed field to make it negative.

Use signed deviations. Example: nominal 10, upper +0.05, lower −0.02.

Minimum and maximum limits will appear here.

PCD / Bolt Circle

Pitch, chord and coordinates will appear here.

Symmetric Taper

Enter large diameter D, small diameter d and axial length L.

Taper ratio and included angle will appear here.

Sine Bar

Enter the sine-bar data.

Millimetres ↔ Inches

1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly.

Degrees ↔ DMS


Converted angle will appear here.
VISUAL LEARNING

Understand it — don’t just calculate it.

Interactive engineering diagrams, worked steps and trainee-friendly explanations. All numerical diagrams use deterministic QS calculations.

GD&T VISUAL

True Position — see the XY error

The actual feature centre is plotted against the basic/nominal centre. QS doubles the radial XY offset to calculate diametrical position error.

GD&T VISUAL

MMC + bonus tolerance

Watch the positional tolerance zone grow as the actual feature departs from Maximum Material Condition.

CMM VISUAL

Plane vector from three points

QS uses (P1→P2) × (P1→P3), then normalises the result to I/J/K.

3-2-1 alignment & six degrees of freedom

Step through a common planar 3-2-1 training model. Each stage shows which motions are constrained.

GD&T VISUAL

Flatness vs parallelism

A common trainee confusion: flatness controls a surface by itself; parallelism controls orientation relative to a datum.

FLATNESS
PARALLELISM
TOLERANCE VISUAL

Limits & fits — tolerance bands

The hole and shaft bands share one scale so clearance, transition or interference becomes visible immediately.

CMM PROGRAMMING ASSISTANT

CMM Assist

CMM

Alignment, vectors and metrology training

Independent guidance for trainees and experienced programmers working with ZEISS CALYPSO, PC-DMIS and PolyWorks.

Choose the software you use and QS will adapt the terminology while keeping the underlying metrology principles the same.

COMMON PLANAR DATUM SETUP

Alignment Builder

123

Build a training explanation for a common primary-plane, secondary-direction, tertiary-origin alignment. The drawing's datum reference frame always governs the real inspection.

Choose the datum directions, then build the alignment explanation.

What a common 3-2-1 alignment is doing

TxTyTzRxRyRz

A primary plane commonly removes one translation and two rotations. The secondary feature removes another translation and the remaining rotation about the primary normal. The tertiary feature removes the final translation. Exact constraints depend on datum-feature type and simulation.

VECTOR CALCULATOR

Plane normal from three points

Enter three XYZ points. QS calculates the normal from (P1→P2) × (P1→P3), normalises it to I/J/K and shows the dominant axis. Reversing point order flips the vector sign.

Point 1

Point 2

Point 3

Default points define a plane normal close to +Z.
VECTOR CALCULATOR

Line direction from two points

Useful for understanding constructed lines, hole-to-hole directions and the sign of a secondary alignment feature.

Start point

End point

Default points define a line direction close to +X.

PRO

Engineering quality assistant

Ask about inspection, GD&T, tolerances, metrology, SPC and root-cause analysis. Supported numerical questions can use Quality Inspector's deterministic calculators.

Work-data warning: do not paste confidential drawings, controlled technical data, customer information, export-controlled data or employer-restricted information unless your organisation has approved this use.

AI
Quality AIEngineering assistant
Ask me an engineering quality question. When your question matches a supported calculator, I can use the verified calculation engine and explain the result.

AI assistance is not product acceptance. Confirm results against the released drawing, approved inspection plan, controlled standards and qualified engineering judgement.
