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:

  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:
