Basics of GD&T - 3 Day

This 3-day training course covers the basics of geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). It will introduce key GD&T concepts like part features, the 14 GD&T symbols, and how to apply virtual condition, form, orientation, location, and other tolerances. Participants will learn how to select datums, interpret engineering drawings, calculate tolerances, and apply GD&T best practices. The course includes classroom exercises and a review of the company's existing drawings to improve GD&T usage. The goal is to teach design and inspection engineers how to specify dimensions and tolerances to guarantee 100% interchangeability of manufactured parts.
