Level 3 Workshop - (Concept Driven)
For design teams Exclusively from ETI, this advanced course will show you how to calculate tolerance stacks, a crucial skill in today’s competitive workplace. Solve problems in the design stage instead of the production stage, and save time and money by getting it right the first time.


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 tolerance stacks applications.
You’ll learn how to use tolerance stacks to establish part tolerances, analyze design, create process designs, use geometric tolerances in stacks, and much much more. CEUs will be awarded for successful completion of the course.

Skill Level Needed
Please be aware that this is not an introductory course.
In order to qualify for this course, you must already know how to read a blueprint and be familiar with the fundamentals of geometric tolerancing. We recommend taking GD&T fundamentals and advanced concepts workshops before attempting this course.

Each workshop participant receives:
• A copy of Tolerance Stacks textbook, by Alex Krulikowski
• A Tolerance Stacks Drawing Package
• A Tolerance Stacks Exercise Workbook
• A Tolerance Stacks Summary Chart

• Class handouts
• An official certificate of completion

Format: Covers the complete principles of tolerance stacks and can be completed in a three-day or 10-session course. Topics covered include: 

  • Importance of stacks
  • Prerequisite skills
  • Introduction to stacks
  • The four basic stack steps
  • Part stacks using coordinate dimensions
  • Part stacks using runout
  • Part stacks using profile
  • Part stacks using position
  • Part stacks using bonus (planar & RFS datums)
  • Part stacks using position with bonus and shift
  • Part stacks using multiple geometric tolerances
  • Assembly stacks using coordinate dimensions
  • Assembly stacks using runout
  • Assembly stacks using profile
  • Assembly stacks using position
  • Stacks using form controls applied to a feature
  • Stacks using straightness applied to a feature of size
  • Stacks using orientation controls applied to a feature
  • Stacks using orientation controls applied to a feature of size
  • Assembly stacks using multiple geometric tolerances
  • Stack matrix chart
  • Evaluating a stack answer

Students who attend our workshops walk away with more than knowledge. They gain on-the-job skills because our materials are performance-based, and each workshop approaches the subject from a design perspective.
