Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) Web Seminar RePlay
What Will You Learn
- Explain the benefits of geometric tolerancing
- Identify datum features and determine their order of precedence
- Identify and interpret each of the characteristic symbols
- Describe the material condition modifiers and how "bonus" tolerance occurs
- Correctly interpret GD&T feature control frames, and explain the impact on manufacturing and inspection
Course Information
Is This Course For You
This course is ideal for anyone who has a need to apply or interpret geometric tolerances on a product print. Product engineers, manufacturing engineers, CAD designers, quality inspectors, and other engineering and manufacturing personnel will all benefit from a better understanding of design requirements; improved communication with customers and suppliers; and improving designs by taking advantage of bonus tolerance and other GD&T benefits. Participants should have an understanding of basic blueprint reading.
This course satisfies a requirement in the Product Engineering Tools and Methods Certificate Program.
