This course provides an in-depth discussion of advanced GD&T concepts not covered in fundamentals courses. It is intended for engineers with a basic understanding of GD&T. Topics covered include interpreting complex features and feature of sizes, calculating various form tolerances, proper use of datum systems and targets, simultaneous and separate requirements for position and profile tolerances, and definitions of rigid and non-rigid parts. The goal is to help engineers better apply GD&T in complex industrial applications.

This course is based on ASME Y14.5 – 2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing
Standard. It is intended for designers, product engineers, manufacturing and assembly engineers, and quality engineers. This courseware is for participants with understanding on fundamental concepts of GD&T.
Advanced concepts include more in depth discussion on selected topics of GD&T
that are not covered in fundamentals of GD&T. The examples included are more complex and industrial application oriented.
