Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing Course

Course Price: $349

Target Learner:

Engineers, Scientists, or Technicians

Course Description:

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) introduces the principles used to communicate the allowable variation of part features through standardized symbols, datum reference systems, feature control frames, and functional relationships.

Rather than treating GD&T as a symbol-recognition exercise, the course explains how geometric controls connect engineering intent with manufacturing capability and measurement strategy. Participants learn how size, form, orientation, location, profile, and runout requirements define the acceptable boundaries of a feature or group of features.

The course examines:

  • Engineering drawing interpretation
  • Feature control frames
  • Datum features and datum reference frames
  • Basic dimensions
  • Tolerance zones
  • Material condition modifiers
  • Bonus tolerance
  • Virtual condition
  • Form controls
  • Orientation controls
  • Position
  • Profile
  • Runout
  • Feature patterns
  • Functional gaging
  • Inspection planning
  • Measurement-system selection

Learners also evaluate how the same requirement may be interpreted by designers, machinists, inspectors, suppliers, and customers. Practical examples help participants determine what a drawing requires, why the control was selected, and how conformity can be demonstrated.

The objective is not merely to read a technical drawing. It is to develop professionals capable of connecting product function, geometric requirements, manufacturing processes, and verification methods.
