    Fundamentals of GD&T

    In today’s modern and technically advanced design, engineering and manufacturing world, effective
    communication is required to ensure the design and manufacture of successful products. Success
    oriented organizations, which require accurate and common lines of communications between
    engineering, design, manufacturing and quality consider knowledge of GD&T as an essential skill for
    design professionals.

    The best design in the world is worthless if it cannot be produced!

    In this Course we teach you the GD&T as prescribed in the ASME Y14.5-2009 Standard which is the
    need of the hour in Industries.

    You'll get an in-depth explanation of geometric symbols, including each symbol's requirements,
    tolerance zones, and limitations. The class includes a comparison of GD&T to coordinate tolerancing;
    an explanation of tolerance zones; Rules #1 and #2; form and orientation controls; tolerance of position;
    runout and profile controls.
