This course is ideal for individuals who interpret engineering drawings including design, layout, assembly, checking, and inspection personnel.

This course is an introduction to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) aimed at developing the participant's understanding of the symbols and standards. This 2 - day course comprises a basic fundamental geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). For example, the allowable variations as defined through GD&T can be directly read, or “imported,” into 3D tolerance analysis software such as 3DCS. The proper application of GD&T closely dovetails into accepted and logical mechanical design processes and design-for-manufacturing considerations. By using GD&T, engineers dramatically reduce their need for drawing notes to describe complex geometry requirements on components and assemblies.įit with accepted design-for-manufacturing methods. This reduces misinterpretations, and the need for costly engineering changes and rework that can result from a lack of clarity.ĭramatic time savings. GD&T provides a clear and concise method for defining a reference coordinate system on a component or assembly that can be used throughout manufacturing and inspection. There are a number of reasons to adopt GD&T at your company:Ĭlarity and consistency in the design process.
