Course Objectives
This program is a continuation of your education in the Y14.5 standard. There will be discussions about being able to identify both correct and incorrect drawings with GD&T. In this program, we focus on the application and interpretation of GD&T – another step closer to becoming a GD&T expert.
What is the difference between our GD&T Fundamentals and Advanced Concepts workshop?
Advanced Concepts Differs from Fundamentals of GD&T in Three Ways:
1. More in-depth discussion on selected topics that are often not covered in fundamentals classes
- Simultaneous requirements
- Movable datum targets
- Composite tolerancing
- All over
- Non-Rigid parts
- Relating GD&T to part applications
- Datum feature types
- Temporary datum features
- Gear/Spline/Thread as Datum Feature
- Dimension types
- Customer Robust
- Customer Sensitive
- Loss Function Curves
- Conical Tolerance Zones
- Profile Myths
- Profile Applications
2. Covers GD&T topics in a manner that relates closely to how GD&T is used in industry
- Principles of Dimensioning
- Examples using more complex drawings
- Exercises using more complex drawings
- Functional Dimensioning
- Choosing the best symbol based on part function
- Profile applications
- Position applications
- Inane datum specifications
3. Explanations of topics that are not explicitly covered in Y14.5, but are needed and used in industry
- Functional Dimensioning
- Non-rigid parts
- Restrained parts
- Special datum target types
- Temporary datum features
- Rules for composite tolerancing
- Profile self-datum rule
Benefits
If you are pursuing the ASME Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional Certification (GDTP) or just want to grow in your proficiency with GD&T, this will be a necessary course for your practical education.
This course is also available as GD&T Advanced Concepts (3-day). This workshop offers additional time for extended exercises and more hands-on projects throughout the 3 days.
