Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) – Fundamentals
This GD&T Fundamentals training workshop introduces the student to the basics of the Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing of the ASME Y14.5M-2018 standard. It covers terms, definitions, and rules, followed by a close look at the purpose for each of the 14 GD&T symbols.
Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) – Fundamentals
This GD&T Fundamentals training is designed for anyone involved in part manufacturing from design through to inspection. It can benefit engineers, technicians, quality personnel, and anyone who has a need to understand, define and/or communicate tolerances on engineering drawings.
