EDU-G415: GD&T Fundamentals

Overview:

GD&T Fundamentals teaches a simple framework that allows users to not only understand how Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is utilized, but also why GD&T improves the manufacturing process. The course is focused on practical knowledge and uses real-world examples from users as instructional tools. GD&T Fundamentals doesn’t overwhelm users with every GD&T concept – the lessons are curated to teach users only the concepts and terminology necessary to do their jobs better and improve the user’s manufacturing operation.

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

·      Gain a mental framework and understanding that simplifies 95% of all GD&T

·      Understand the main requirements and terminology of the ASME Y14.5 Standard in terms of plain English

·      Learn all 14 major GD&T symbols and understand how to apply the symbols that are useful and to avoid the ones that aren’t

·      Understand GD&T Feature Control Frames and how they affect manufacturing and inspection

·      Know how Max Material Condition creates bonus tolerance while maintaining a functional part  

·      Understand datums and how they are applied on drawings for design, manufacturing, and inspection  

·      Understand how Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is applied on physical parts and real-world drawings  

·      Know best practices and have a realistic approach for using GD&T in your job.

A user will leave this course equipped to read, interpret, and understand GD&T on real engineering drawings—and empowered to work more confidently, communicate more clearly, and produce parts more efficiently.
