Comprehensive Advanced GD&T (December 8-10, 2 1/2 days): This course is targeted at those who have already been trained in the basics of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Even the most advanced practitioners will learn more than they ever thought possible in this workshop.

Based on the textbook Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing in 2007, this course has the ability to cover almost every facet of tolerancing (on, for example, sheet metal parts, injected molded parts, amorphic surfaces, as well as simple rectangular parts). You will learn how to dimension and tolerance all types of parts and assemblies, including complex geometries. Some of the general topic categories available to be covered are listed below. Course participants get to choose which specific topics from the text will be emphasized!

● GD&T and Advanced GD&T Concepts/Applications
● Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis
● Statistical Tolerancing
● Measurement
● Functional Gage and Fixture Design, Dimensioning and Tolerancing

Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis (December 10-12, 2 1/2 days): This course is directed to anyone with the professional responsibility of analyzing or applying tolerances to assemblies, or anyone seeking a more thorough understanding of tolerance analysis. Attendees should have a basic working knowledge of ASME Y14.5M-1994. [Each course participant needs to bring a hand-held calculator.]

Course participants will be trained to apply tolerance stack-up analysis techniques to a wide variety of assemblies, from the very simple to the more complex situations commonly faced in industry today. Both plus and minus and geometrically toleranced assemblies will be examined and stack-up analysis taught and practiced on each. Many different datum structures will be discussed and analyzed. The concepts taught in this course are: loop analysis (also known as circuit diagrams), number charting, virtual condition, resultant condition, inner and outer boundaries, minimum airspace, maximum wall thickness, maximum interference, minimum and maximum overall dimensions, fixed and floating fastener assembly conditions, projected tolerance zones, the logic of stack-up analysis, statistical tolerancing, and much more.
