Fundamentals of GD&T Overview Workshop (ASME Y14.5M-1994)
Our one-day GD&T overview is an accelerated course that provides a short introduction to the GD&T fundamentals. The 8-hour course is perfect
for employees getting their first exposure to geometric dimensioning & tolerancing. It's also perfect as a refresher course.
 
Who Should Attend
This course introduces the topic of GD&T. It is designed mainly for people who don’t use GD&T, but need to understand some GD&T basics. The course is perfect for purchasing agents, managers, supervisors, and manufacturing personnel.
Workshop Highlights
The class begins by explaining why GD&T is superior to coordinate tolerancing and includes an introduction to the terms, symbols, rules, and geometric controls used in GD&T. This is an introductory course, not an in-depth coverage of GD&T. The course covers the basic symbols, modifiers, and rules of GD&T. It introduces a difficult topic in an easily understandable manner.
