Learn
about geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) from
the experts at ETI. |
2008 Schedule Westland, Michigan June 23-25
|
This workshop introduces the thought processes involved in assigning GD&T to components. It will change the way many engineers think about part tolerancing.
The workshop focuses on four key areas: understanding what constitutes good and poor drawing practices, understanding the common dimensioning methods used in industry, using geometric tolerancing to communicate system functions on component dimensions, and understanding the logic on how to apply GD&T to components.
Who Should Attend
The program is ideal for product engineers, designers, checkers, and engineering managers.
Prerequisites
The student should have knowledge of: engineering drawing requirements, GD&T fundamentals and advanced concepts; an understanding of tolerance analysis is highly recommended.
Workshop Highlights
The workshop is based on the system approach to component tolerancing. Students will learn how to do a design functional analysis on an assembly and use this information to assign dimensions and tolerances. Students will learn how to select datum features and how to fully define component surfaces using GD&T. Establishing tolerance values is not covered.
The three-day System Approach to Component Tolerancing workshop teaches the thought process involved in assigning GD&T to components. Topics covered include:
