Description

This course provides a fast and structured introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), based on the ASME Y14.5-2009 standard. It covers essential topics, including:


  • GD&T Rules

  • Flatness

  • Straightness

  • Circularity

  • Cylindricity

  • Datum System

  • Size Datum Features (RMB)

  • Size Datum Features (MMB)

  • Datum Targets

  • Perpendicularity

  • Parallelism

  • Angularity

  • Position Tolerances

  • Concentricity and Symmetry Tolerances

  • Profile Tolerances

  • Circular and Total Runout Tolerances


Each concept is presented clearly and concisely, with a strong emphasis on practical understanding and real-world application. Learners will gain the ability to interpret feature control frames, analyze technical drawings, and apply GD&T principles during inspection and measurement. The course includes visual examples, simplified explanations of complex rules such as Rule #1 and its overrides and step by step walkthroughs of various tolerance types.


Whether you're reviewing for the GDTP certification exam or aiming to deepen your understanding of ASME Y14.5-2009, this course delivers the core knowledge required to confidently apply GD&T in engineering design and manufacturing. With a logical progression and a focus on clarity, it helps learners build a solid foundation in geometric tolerancing without unnecessary complexity. By the end of the course, participants will be able to read, interpret, and apply GD&T symbols and standards with precision and confidence.


This course is ideal for aspiring mechanical design engineering students looking to learn the subject of GD&T, professionals from the manufacturing industry who want to understand its core concepts, and working design engineers seeking to sharpen their engineering design knowledge and skills.
