The program begins with a review of GD&T, and then continues with practical exercises designed to enhance knowledge and build confidence. The subject matter covered is (as a minimum):
- Introduction – Objectives, review Basic GD&T
- General rules of dimensioning and drafting review
- Review of the more complex controls – composite position, projected tolerance zone, etc
- Datum Reference Frames – proper selection and utilization exercises
- Calculating tolerances for maximum producibility and 100% interchangeability
- Functional gauge design – “Soft” or “Paper” gauges as well as tooled gauges
Who Should Attend
This program is designed for anyone who is currently familiar and proficient with the concepts and practices of GD&T. Particular emphasis is placed on those who are responsible for specifying and interpreting technical documentation. Individuals desiring to become a certified Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP) by passing the ASME GDTP exam will need this course.
Prerequisites: Fundamentals of GD&T, or equivalent experience.
