Mastering Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing provides an in-depth exploration of the principles and applications of GD&T within the context of CAD, CAE, and CAM systems. Participants will engage in hands-on projects that emphasize the practical implementation of GD&T concepts, enhancing their ability to communicate design intent and ensure manufacturing accuracy. This course is structured to facilitate a deep understanding of geometric tolerances, enabling professionals to optimize designs and improve product quality.
Through a combination of interactive learning and project-based assignments, participants will gain the skills necessary to apply GD&T standards effectively. The course culminates in a final project that allows learners to demonstrate their mastery of the subject matter by developing a comprehensive GD&T plan for a real-world engineering problem. This approach not only reinforces theoretical knowledge but also prepares participants to contribute meaningfully to their organizations and the broader industry.
