The ISO GPS standards system is nothing new; it just hasn't been widely adopted so far. However, as data flows are expected to run more seamlessly, the classic drawing from design becomes an obstacle because it obstructs data continuity. ISO GPS provides a remedy.

The ISO GPS standards system is a globally uniform geometric language for the unambiguous description of product features, which, when applied correctly, saves time and costs over the entire product lifecycle.(Image: freely licensed / Pixabay) — The ISO GPS standards system is a globally uniform geometric language for the unambiguous description of product features, which, when applied correctly, saves time and costs over the entire product lifecycle.

In recent years, with the standards around ISO GPS, the system of geometric product specification has been reorganized. In addition to pure geometry, the complete technical description of a component includes a multitude of further information, such as form and positional tolerances, surface treatments, surface quality, and manufacturing information. This information was previously recorded in a 2D drawing of the component. However, this made it not machine-readable and unusable for subsequent processes. The ISO GPS standardization changes this and enables progress in digitalization in this area as well.
