Even with an understanding of the fundamentals of GD&T, many professionals still lack the confidence to expertly and deliberately apply geometric tolerancing and perform tolerance stack-up analyses to clearly define their product designs. Like with any language, this deeper understanding is built off the fundamentals. 

Course Outline:

• Datum Review
• Advanced Datum Reference Frame Concepts
• Boundaries
• Position Control Concepts
• Profile Control Concepts
• Coaxial Tolerances
• Introduction to Tolerance Stack-Ups

Students will be able to:

• Apply the geometric language to real parts
• Construct the appropriate functional datum reference frames for parts after analyzing the mating requirements
• Apply datum feature modifiers where appropriate based on analyzing the requirements
• Specify datum reference frames properly to represent the part's functional requirements, including the use and interpretation of datum shift where appropriate
• Apply geometric tolerancing to control features and ensure mating requirements are met 
• Perform boundary calculations to analyze the combined effects of different types of variation
• Specify tolerances to ensure multiple mating part relationships between constrained features
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to assign critical tolerances
• Apply geometric controls and symbols properly to suit the functional requirements

Who Should Attend:

• Design engineers
• Manufacturing engineers
• Quality engineers
• CAD draftspersons
• Mechanical engineering technicians
• Anyone involved with drawing review and anyone looking for a deeper understanding of how to apply geometric tolerancing and perform tolerance analysis will greatly benefit from this course.
