• Interpret and apply the latest standards — ASME Y14.5M-2018
• Reduce drawing changes and interpretation errors while designing for maximum profitability
• Bid contracts with confidence

1. GD&T basic principles

2. Geometric characteristics and inspection

3. Datum selection, choosing the perfect geometric characteristic for parts and assemblies. Fixed fastener assembly, mating part tolerance formulas and the effects of modifiers (MMB after datum features) are also emphasized

4. Producibility and measurement considerations

5. Holding direct vs indirect functional relationships in an assembly

6. Application of common tolerancing methods and datum structures

7. Commonalities in tolerancing approaches on dissimilar part geometries profile of a surface

8. Design, dimensioning and tolerancing of functional gages and fixtures. Quality assurance strategies and measurement planning

9. Converting from plus and minus tolerancing to positional tolerance

10. Composite position vs two single-segment positional tolerancing

11. Composite profile vs two single-segment profile tolerancing

12. Applying position tolerances to a complex assembly with multiple datum structures for floating and fixed-fastener assembly conditions

13. New concepts in Y14.5-2018 are explained and discussed, such as: dynamic profile, vector symbols, the return of true geometric counterparts and much more

This program has a special two-and-a-half-day format, with adjournment on Day three at noon.
