About the Course
If you have a basic understanding of mechanical drawings, Alex can teach you the terms, rules, symbols, and concepts of GD&T as prescribed in the ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard.

You'll get an in-depth explanation of geometric symbols, including each symbol's requirements, tolerance zones, and limitations. The class includes a comparison of GD&T to coordinate tolerancing; an explanation of tolerance zones; Rules #1 and #2; form and orientation controls; tolerance of position; runout and profile controls. Throughout the class, you'll hone your newly acquired skills with over 300 practice problems. This complete course in GD&T fundamentals is the most thorough and comprehensive training on the market.

Who Should Attend
This workshop is a valuable tool for individuals who create or interpret engineering drawings: product and gage designers; process, product, and manufacturing engineers; supplier quality engineers; CMM operators; buyers/purchasers; checkers; inspectors; technicians; and sales engineers.

Workshop Highlights
The workshop is based on a series of goals and objectives. It includes numerous practice problems and in-depth coverage of dimensioning and tolerancing. You will learn the benefits of GD&T and leave with the ability to interpret GD&T on drawings.
