Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Training

Participants in this foundational course will learn the essential concepts of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), a standardized method for defining and communicating dimensions and tolerances related to the size, location, orientation, and form of a product. The primary goal of GD&T is to ensure clear communication of design intent and allowable variation.

Key Definitions:

• Geometric: A way of visualizing and conveying dimensions and tolerances for a product.
• Dimensioning: Defining, recording, and communicating specific values for size, location, orientation, and form.
• Tolerancing: Specifying acceptable ranges for size, location, orientation, and form.

Major Topics Covered:

• Features
• Datums
• Form
• Orientation
• Profile
• Position
• Coaxial Features

Course Overview

This in-person course combines instructor-led presentations, participant workbooks, and group discussions to explore the principles of GD&T. Participants are encouraged to bring electronic drawing samples to apply concepts directly to their specific needs.

Benefits of Attending

Upon completion, participants will have enhanced knowledge and practical skills in using GD&T for effective communication of design specifications. This course is ideal for managers, project managers, engineers, and quality and production staff who need to interpret and apply engineering prints.

Participants will receive a training guide during the session to support ongoing learning.
