Course Summary
This three-day course is a continuation of GD&T Fundamentals, again focusing on practical GD&T application and introducing additional advanced concepts such as the Datum at Virtual Condition Rule, tolerance calculation and more complex GD&T controls.
Target Audience
This program is designed for anyone who is currently familiar and proficient with the concepts and practices of GD&T. Particular emphasis is placed on those who are responsible for specifying and interpreting technical documentation. Individuals desiring to become a certified Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP) by passing the ASME GDTP exam will need this course.
Course Objectives
This program is a complete review of the Y14.5M-1994 and Y14.5-2009 standards. In this GD&T Training we continue with practical team exercises designed to enhance knowledge, build confidence and nurture a team environment. This class is minimum lecture, maximum experience and participation format. Complex controls (composite position, projected tolerance zone, etc.) are covered as well as calculating tolerances and functional gage design. This program is a continuation of your education in the Y14.5 standard. In this program, we focus on the application and interpretation of GD&T – another step closer to becoming a GD&T expert.

Agenda
The program begins with a review of GD&T, and then continues with practical team exercises designed to enhance knowledge, build confidence, and nurture a team environment. This class is a minimum lecture, maximum experience and participation format.
- Introduction – Objectives, review GD&T Fundamentals.
- General rules of dimensioning and drafting review.
- Review of the more complex controls – composite position, projected tolerance zone, etc.
- Datum Reference Frames – proper selection and utilization exercises.
- Calculating tolerances for maximum producibility and 100% interchangeability.
- Functional gauge design – “Soft” or “Paper” as well as tooled gauges.
This course is also available as GD&T Advanced Concepts (2-day) The 2-day version of this course simply removes the additional full day of training reserved specifically for extended exercises and hands-on projects.
