Course Overview:

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances. All products have geometry. GD&T is used to communicate the geometric dimensions and geometric tolerances - which are allowable amounts of variations or imperfections. This course helps you understand the symbols and standards used to describe the design of a product - and explicitly state design (all dimensional and tolerance specifications) using them.

Learning Outcome:

Upon completing this course, you'll be able to use GD&T for defining allowable variation in size, form, orientation, and location of parts and assembly. Key topics covered include:

• Dimensions and Drawings
• Size Tolerance
• GD&T System
• GD&T Rules
• GD&T Concepts
• Concept of bonus tolerance
• Planar Datum
• Modifiers and Symbols
• ASME Y14.5M-1994

Ideal for:

• Product designers
• Engineers of all streams
• Technical communicators

Job opportunities and Career growth:

As sophistication of products increase, the need for enhancing the accuracy of product designs keeps growing in all domains. At the heart of design accuracy is unambiguous and precise communication using standard engineering symbols. GD&T is a global language of engineering designs that help ensure that goals of

communication are achieved across the teams - from the teams of design, analysis and production. Engineers with GD&T knowledge are hired to communicate, analyse, and ensure quality of engineering design and drawings. They are hired as:

• Dimensional Engineers
• Product Designers - GD&T
• Mechanical Engineers - GD&T
