Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerance (GD&T) (2 Days)

Seminar Content

2 Days This seminar explains the content of GD&T as well as detailed requirements of GD&T of manufacturing industry of North America per ASME Y14.5M-1994. The seminar combines abundant real examples of automotive industry to help the understanding and implementation of GD&T on design, production and inspection. The course also compares the majoer differences between GD&T standard of ASME Y14.5M and related Chinese standard on dimensioning and tolerance. GD&T is widely used on design, production and quality area, including blue print reading, meaning and understanding. GD&T is the important tool of product realization process, it’s also the professional language to understand the requirements of customer, especially automotive OEMs.

Training Features

Who Should Attend

Design Engineer, Quality Engineer, Process Engineer, Manufacturing Engineering, Gage Engineer, APQP team member, and Inspector.

Seminar Materials

Omnex Training Material with case studies as well as exercises.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of mechanical blue print reading and implementation. Production process experience is preferable. Following attendee are recommended: Design Engineer, Quality Engineer, Product Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Process Engineer, Inspector, etc.

Training Goals

  • Understand the requirements of GD&T, reduce the leadtime of design, reduce the engineering change, improve the design quality.
  • Learn how to apply GD&T to understand the design purpose of the customer, improve the reliability of product design and process design.
  • Emphasize the understanding principles of verifying GD&T
  • Learn the concept of MMC, LMC and RFS
  • Use GD&T to improve the dimension verification and inspection, understand the ASME Y14.5M-1994 requirements, such as geometric tolerance, symbols, terms, rules and application
  • Understand the differences between GD&T requirements of North America (ASME Y14.5M) and Chinese Standard of Dimensioning and Tolerances

Why do we need GD&T training?
(Training for GD&T, Gage Design, Tolerence Stackup)

Training for GD&T, Gage Design, Tolerenc Stackup

Our training is focusing on the two major standards for Geometrical Tolerencing:

  1. Europe Standard: ISO1101 (China Standard: GB/T 1182, similar to ISO1101)
    Major Features: linear tolerance (or +/- tolerance) method
  2. USA Standard: ASME Y14.5M-1994.
    Major Feature: GD&T tolerencing method, such as position and Profile tolerance as below:
