Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in Design through Manufacturing
Date : 7 to 8 April, 2025
Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Bengaluru
 
INTRODUCTION
 

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) system eliminates ambiguities in engineering drawings and brings out the designer's intent very clearly. It ensures seamless communication between design, engineering, manufacturing and quality teams across the entire organization enabling them to work in a concurrent engineering environment. Application of GD&T system helps to reduce the manufacturing and inspection costs drastically.
This programme will focus on understanding the system of GD&T as per ASME Y14.5 Standard
and the methods of applying it in real time designs.

FOCUS AREAS
 
KEY TAKE AWAYS
  • Tolerance, types of tolerances, why tolerance is required, and how tolerance is decided
  • History, Introduction and understanding the need for GD & T
  • Fundamental rules of GD&T per ASME. Coordinate VS geometric tolerancing
  • Definitions of Terms and Symbols, FOS, FCF, DRF, Rule#1 or Taylor principle
  • Definition of datums' and DOF restrained by primary, secondary and tertiary datums
  • Tolerance concepts, MMC / LMC / RFS and their applications
  • Calculation of bonus tolerance per MMC / LMC
  • Form and orientation tolerances, Inspection methods and applications
  • Location, runout and profile tolerances, Inspection methods and applications
  • Demonstration of Inspection of GD&T Parameters both by Conventional and CMM Method.
 

After undergoing the programme, the participants will be able to -

  • Understand the concepts of GD&T features and correctly interpret GD&T symbols in Engineering Drawings
  • Learn about using tolerances at RFS, MMC and LMC conditions and Calculate Bonus tolerance.
  • Gain a practical insight into inspection of GD&T features using conventional methods, Co-ordinate MeasuringMachine and functional gauges.
  • Implement GD&T controls for a new project with proper selection of datum features.
