Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Fundamentals 
December 8-10 and 15-17 Noon-4pm

Don Day, author of The GD&T Hierarchy and President of Tec-Ease,  will be presenting live via the Internet and telephone using the WebEx training portal. 

Cost: $795.  Register at least 2 weeks prior to the seminar start day, and receive $100 off.  


Equipment Requirements:  A computer with a high-speed Internet connection and a phone preferably with a headset

Course Materials:
Participants will receive in advance:
The GD&T Hierarchy textbook
The GD&T Hierarchy Workbook with Solutions
The GD&T Hierarchy Pocket Guide
A 6-month trial license to our software, Geo-Ease II™ - software to translate, check and teach geometric controls.

Who should attend:
All those who use GD&T to design, produce and inspect parts: mechanical engineers, designers, managers, production planners, inspectors, machinists, supplier quality personnel, etc.. Those taking this course should have a basic knowledge of print reading.

The Need:
A concurrent engineering team equipped with the proper tools has the ability to shorten time to market, reduce engineering changes and create a robust quality design. Design decisions should be optimized for quality cost and delivery at the sketch phase when an engineering change costs a few cents rather than hundreds or thousands of dollars months later. The drawing is the common thread of the concurrent engineering team.
This is the first in a series of seminars that presents understandable user friendly tools that may be used by your entire team to get it right the first time. By using these methods, design decisions are based on fact rather than emotion and past practices.

Course description: (24 hours)
You'll discover the major pitfalls of traditional coordinate tolerancing - and how these may be overcome by using Geometric Tolerancing. Then, starting with your basic blueprint knowledge, you'll learn the symbols, terminology and rules of Geometric Tolerancing as prescribed in the current standard (ASME Y14.5M-1994). The GD&T Hierarchy will be presented to explain the relationship between tolerances and how to most economically apply the concepts.
