Course Description

This course first presents conventional tolerancing terminology, expressions, and accumulations in both inch and metric formats. Next, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) presents an international system of symbols used to dimension products or tooling components. The course is based on the current ASME Y14.5M2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard. Engineers, designers, drafters, cost estimators, machinists, and inspectors must understand this system. Students study actual product drawings and make design sketches of workholding and inspection devices. Group 2 course.
