COURSE DESCRIPTION

Advanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is taught in a problem solving team format that will stimulate discussion and provide participants with the tolerancing tools and techniques to:

• Design and interpret drawings requiring complex GD&T concepts
• Focus on practical applications of GD&T for mating parts
• Communicate design intent to persons in manufacturing and inspection

• Multiple single–segment positional tolerancing
• Fixed and floating fasteners
• Multiple patterns of features located to common datum features
• Pattern of features located to a common datum feature of size
• Bidirectional positional tolerancing
• Coaxial positional tolerancing
• Profile control of form, orientation, and location
• Graphic analysis of composite positional tolerancing and patterns of features located to common datum features of size
