Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is an important language for controlling part shape and fit.  It is widely used in many industries, but many engineering graduates are not exposed to it.  This three hour session will briefly introduce the ASME Y14.5 spec that defines GD&T for American usage.  We will touch on datums, unstated rules, and the main categories of tolerance.  Special attention will be paid to flatness and true position to illustrate general principles.  Additional sources for more information will be recommended.
