EDU-G410: Print Reading and Tolerances

Overview:

The Print Reading and Tolerances course makes it easy to read, interpret, and understand technical prints. We break down the complexities of engineering drawings into key concepts that apply to every print, using a mix of documented standards, shop floor knowledge, and real-world examples. This introductory course equips you to work with actual engineering drawings by teaching a proven process to interpret prints the right way every time.

Upon successful completion of the course, a user will be able to:

• Recognize and understand the most common symbols found on engineering drawings
• Identify the pertinent manufacturing information on a print, such as units of measure, general tolerances, revision history, bill of material, and other critical data
• Decipher different dimensioning methods used on engineering drawings to determine what dimensional tolerances really mean
• Interpret various views and line types on 2D drawings to visualize the full geometry of a part or assembly in 3D

You’ll leave this course equipped to read, interpret, and understand real engineering drawings—and empowered to work more confidently, communicate more clearly, and produce parts more efficiently.
