Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
Course Description :
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a standardized system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances. It provides precise information about the geometry, size, form, orientation, and location of features on mechanical parts. GD&T ensures functional relationships between components and improves manufacturing efficiency and quality.
Course Objective :
- Understand the Fundamentals: Gain a thorough understanding of the principles and purpose of GD&T.
- Master Symbols and Rules: Learn to use GD&T symbols, feature control frames, and modifiers.
- Interpret Engineering Drawings: Accurately read and interpret GD&T annotations in technical drawings.
- Apply GD&T in Design: Create drawings using GD&T principles to ensure functional designs.
- Ensure Manufacturing Feasibility: Implement GD&T to improve manufacturability and cost efficiency.
- Validate Part Quality: Use GD&T to verify part conformance during inspection.
- Understand Functional Relationships: Ensure assemblies meet fit, form, and functional requirements.
- Collaborate Effectively: Communicate design intent clearly between design, manufacturing, and quality teams.
Key Topics Covered :
- Introduction to GD&T
- GD&T Symbols and Applications
