What You Need to Know:

We will be installing a Metal Roof on the Chapel and adjoining building in the Youth Camp. The change from shingles to Metal has been made to save cost.

Volunteers are still needed. (If you already registered, thank you)

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) has been around in one form or another since World War II. The need to define ever more complex part geometry and the need to guarantee interchangeability of parts has contributed to its widespread use. Today, it can be found in nearly all manufacturing industries, from the very small geometry found in Integrated Circuits to the very large geometry found on rockets, the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.

If you have a basic understanding of mechanical drawings, we can teach you the terms, rules, symbols, and concepts of GD&T as prescribed in the ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard.  In this course, you’ll get an explanation of geometric symbols, including each symbol’s requirements, tolerance zones, and limitations. The class includes a comparison of GD&T to coordinate tolerancing; an explanation of tolerance zones; form and orientation controls; tolerance of position; run out and profile controls. Throughout the class, you’ll hone your newly acquired skills with practice problems. This introductory course in GD&T fundamentals is the most thorough and comprehensive training on the market.

Who should attend?

Product and Gage Designers

Process, Product and Manufacturing Engineers

Supplier Quality Engineers

CMM Operators

Buyers and Purchasers

Inspectors, Technicians and Sales Engineers
