Advanced GD&T has found its greatest
application in mass production, where
interchangeability of blindly selected parts is
essential. Without GD&T and tolerance analysis,
there is no way to know that parts have been
designed such that all manufactured parts will
fit together at assembly. This is becoming more
critical today due to ever more powerful design
tools and more restrictive business practices.
Benefits of attending
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and
the tolerance stackup Analysis eliminates the trial and
error approach to product design. It should be viewed
as a design methodology ensuring dimensions and
tolerances are developed to suit feature function and
mating relationships. Thus by leaning Advanced GD&T
one could be benefitted:
• It helps in eliminating guessing at product
tolerancing, resulting in fewer prototype iterations
and drawing revisions.
• It specify the maximum available tolerance for
manufacturing while protecting feature function.
• It provide clear instructions for quality control by
using established rules governing part setup and
tolerance zone interpretation, ensuring repeatable
measurement results.
• It helps in controlling machine allowances, wall
thickness and interface dimensions on castings and
fabrications.
• It helps in developing multiple sources of supply by
providing a complete product definition with a single
dimensional interpretation.

Feedback From Past Participants
“This training program has helped to take
complete knowledge on manufacturing variations
on the design”
“ Now we can design the products better from
what we have learnt from the training session”
“Advanced GD&T should be introduced in all
manufacturing companies for better dimensioning
and understanding”
