Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerance (GD&T) (3 Days)
Seminar Content
3 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 major differences between GD&T standard of ASME Y14.5M and related Chinese standard on dimensioning and tolerance. The application of GD&T on product design, quality control, gage design and dimension inspection, such as traditional measurement, Vision System and CMM will be explained. 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.

Why do we need GD&T training?(Training for GD&T, Gage Design, Tolerenc Stackup)
Our training is focusing on the two major standards for Geometrical Tolerencing:
- Europe Standard: ISO1101 (China Standard: GB/T 1182, similar to ISO1101)
Major Features: linear tolerance (or +/- tolerance) method
- USA Standard: ASME Y14.5M-1994.
Major Feature: GD&T tolerencing method, such as position and Profile tolerance as below:
