About Course :
The GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) Advanced Course builds upon foundational GD&T knowledge, delving deeper into complex concepts and applications. Participants will explore advanced GD&T principles, datum reference frame selection, and applying GD&T in challenging design scenarios. Through practical exercises and case studies, participants will refine their understanding and application of GD&T, ensuring precise communication of engineering specifications.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is a set of guidelines where symbols are used on a drawing to communicate the design’s goal while concentrating on the part’s function. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing decrease controversies, guessing, and assumptions across the manufacturing and inspection processes by ensuring uniformity in drawing specifications and interpretation. When effectively used, GD&T boosts tolerance, enhances communication, and leads to better product design.
Key Course Highlights :
- Application of GD&T in engineering drawings
- Datum reference frame selection and analysis
- Application of GD&T in complex design scenarios
- Case studies and real-world applications
- Composite Feature Control frame
- Position tolerancing formulas.
Upon completing the GD&T Advanced Course, participants will possess an in-depth understanding of complex GD&T principles and their practical applications. They will effectively select and analyze datum reference frames, and confidently apply GD&T in intricate design scenarios. Participants will be equipped to optimize designs for improved manufacturability and ensure precise communication of engineering specifications.
