Detailed Overview/Outline

Course Description
This three-day course is a comprehensive GD&T course focused on practical application.

Objectives

• Review the basic concepts and introduce the more complex concepts of the Y14.5 standard
• Provide participants with the knowledge of proper Datum Feature selection and specification
• Enable participants to properly interpret and apply each of the Y14.5M controls and rules
• Enable participants to calculate functional tolerances for position and other tolerances
• Continue preparing the participants for the ASME GDTP certification exams

Reasons for Attending
Your drawings have GD&T on them! If you have been through the GD&T Basic Level, and you need more knowledge and skill to increase your effectiveness, this course is for you. This program is a continuation of your education in the Y14.5M standard. In this program, we focus on the application and interpretation of GD&T - another step closer to becoming a GD&T expert.

Program Outline
The program begins with a review of GD&T, then continues with practical team exercises designed to enhance knowledge, build confidence, and nurture a team environment. This class is a minimum lecture, maximum experience and participation format. The subject matter covered is (as a minimum):

• Introduction - Objectives, review Basic GD&T.
• General rules of dimensioning and drafting review.
• Review of the more complex controls - composite position, projected tolerance zone, etc.
• Datum Reference Frames - proper selection and utilization exercises.
• Calculating tolerances for maximum producibility and 100% interchangeability.
• Functional gauge design - "Soft" or "Paper" as well as tooled gauges

Who Should Attend
This program is designed for anyone who is currently familiar and proficient with the concepts and practices of GD&T. Particular emphasis is placed on those who are responsible for specifying, and interpreting, technical documentation. Individuals desiring to become a certified Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP) by passing the ASME GDTP exam will need this course.

Prerequisites
Basic GD&T, or equivalent experience.

Continuing Service
At AGI we are particularly concerned that the individuals that we teach actually retain that which we and their companies have worked so hard to present. This concern is precisely why we offer, for each participant of any AGI seminar, access to a senior consultant (usually the instructor of the course) who will be available to answer any follow on questions after the course via telephone or fax.

Applied Geometrics, Inc. is committed to train manufacturing industry's personnel how to realize a higher return on investment by utilizing a standardized, concise and internationally accepted language of engineering expression.

Mark E. Foster

Mr. Foster is a mechanical engineer with over 20 years of experience in design, quality, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). He is currently the President of Applied Geometrics, Inc. AGI is a technical education and consulting firm dedicated to providing support and high quality education and training services that improve a company's competitive position, and profitability.

Mark is a member of the ASME Y14.2 committee and participates regularly in the ASME Y14 meetings throughout the country. Mark has held Management positions in Quality Assurance, Manufacturing Engineering, and Design Engineering and is the chief instructor for AGI. He has provided GD&T training for hundreds of individuals and companies, such as Harley-Davidson, Delco Electronics (Delphi), Nissan, Briggs & Stratton, Woodward Governor Company, Dart Container Corporation, Skil-Bosch Power Tools and more, in GD&T, SPC, ISO/QS-9000, and Print Reading, as well as Train-the-trainer classes.

Mark was a charter member of the Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP) Senior Level examination. He passed the first ever GDTP Senior Level exam administered by the ASME, and is Senior Level Certified (GDTP #S-0114) to the ASME-Y14.5M-1994 standard.

Unlike many GD&T instructors, Mark has actually applied his training to real-world designs on a regular basis during his extensive experience from the design, manufacturing and quality perspectives. This experience and ongoing practical application provides him with the unique ability to relate the common problems that inevitably arise between these groups during the production of a part.

Jaime G. Dadez Mr. Dadez is mechanical design engineering expert with over 24 years of experience in designing with GD&T. He is currently a full-time consultant and trainer with AGI.

Jaime has a wide variety of real-world design and manufacturing experience. He worked as a designer for Woodward Governor Company and for Eclipse Combustion, Inc. He has been in charge of test engineer functions and research and development projects at both of those companies.

Jaime has provided training in Print Reading and GD&T to hundreds of engineers, designers, manufacturers and inspectors.

Jaime is also a member of the ASME Y14.2 committee and participates regularly in the ASME Y14 meetings as well. : Jaime is Senior Level Certified (GDTP #S-0332) to the ASME-Y14.5M-1994 standard.
