ASME Y14.5 GD&T for Manufacturing - Introductory Level ET2726

This 1-day introductory-level course builds on fundamentals of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and teaches the impact of GD&T on the manufacturing process. The course focuses on the basic requirements of engineering drawings, size dimensions, form tolerances, and the datum system, as well as how tolerancing requirements affect production.

Each participant receives: A GD&T for Manufacturing Workbook,  A GD&T Ultimate Pocket Guide (2009), and Class handouts. 

Newly acquired learning is reinforced with numerous practice exercises.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to: 

• Understand the basic facts about engineering drawings
• Recognize the types of dimensions and tolerances used on engineering drawings
• Explain the basic concepts and requirements of size dimensions
• Answer five basic questions for interpreting form tolerances
• Describe the basic concepts of the datum system and planar datums
• Describe the basic concepts of datum targets and size datums
• Answer five basic questions for interpreting orientation, position, runout, and profile of a surface tolerances
• Explain the purpose and limitations of in-process inspection methods
• Assess the GD&T on a typical drawing and determine the impact to manufacturing

Prerequisites

Participants should have basic knowledge and command of the GD&T ASME Y14.5 standard, which provide guidelines for engineering drawing sheet layout.

You must complete all course contact hours and successfully pass the learning assessment to obtain CEUs.
