Advanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

Course Description

Advanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is a problem solving course that will provide participants with the tolerancing tools and techniques to:

• Design and interpret drawings requiring complex GD&T concepts

• Focus on practical applications of GD&T for mating parts

• Communicate design intent to persons in manufacturing and inspection

Audience

• Mechanical Engineers

• Design Engineers

• Quality Engineers

• Anyone who may be required to produce or interpret complex engineering drawings.

• Manufacturing Engineers

• Quality Inspectors

Course Format

This course is presented in a problem solving, team format. Each team will present its best solution on an overhead transparency. Then the merits of each solution will be explored in a class discussion.
