Course Description

This course first presents conventional tolerancing terminology, expressions, and accumulations in both inch and metric formats. 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 Y14.5-2018 standard. Engineers, designers, drafters, cost estimators, machinists, and inspectors must understand this system. Group 2 course.
