Description
If you are a total beginner the course will build progressively in terms of concepts to capture the core tenets of GD&T.

If you are a seasoned professional then the latter portions of the course will be useful to you

Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing is a body of knowledge and a symbolic language used to communicate design intent on an engineering drawing for manufacturing and inspection.

In this course you will learn , how exactly are the core concepts of GD&T built and how they are applied to drawings with multiple examples .

The course will cover the following topics

Overall perspective of what an engineering drawing is and why it is important.

The Need for GD&T then moving towards the introductory concepts of GD&T

A comprehensive comparison of Traditional method of tolerancing vs GD&T

A detailed look at Datums the most important concept in GD&T , How are they created? How are they applied? and what do they mean on the drawing?

Explanation of Symbols and their inspection methods

Form

Finally we will have a look at the concept of Datum feature modifiers or Datum shift.

Each section has a Quiz and you will find practice exercises to practice your GD&T skills .

The course is designed in such a way that each and every point is captured as a sub topic with multiple short lectures which are to the point with condensed information.

At the end of the course, take a quiz with 30 insightful questions which will test your conceptual understanding of the subject.
