GD & T Training 

Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerencing (GD&T)

GD&T is a Method of Dimensioning and Tolerancing as per ASME Y14.5 Standard. Olden days, all product companies followed Square Tolerancing. But all modern companies, Startups, Automotive Companies, Aerospace and Medical companies that are into manufacturing complex equipment, Production items always use GD&T as their Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standards in their Drawings.

GD&T vs Square Tolerancing

All conventional tolerancing with limit tolerances were called square tolerancing, where the tolerance zone is a square. But in GD&T methods, we call it circular tolerances, as we use diametric tolerancing zones. The main advantage of GD&T is, here we dimension any parts by considering the function of the part in the next level assembly. GD&T gives you the additional benefits of 57% more tolerance zone over Square tolerancing leading to fewer part rejections. Also, when using GD&T, the part can be inspected with functional gauges (which is very cheap) compared to square tolerancing, which requires variable guage for inspection, which is a very costly process.

GD&T also provides uniformity across all drawings and is more symbolic, making it easy for everybody to read and understand the drawing with the same intent, irrespective of their language.

Why Should you learn GD&T?

GD&T is a method of Dimensioning and Tolerancing while creating a part drawing using CAD Tools like Solidworks, Catia, Creo, Solidedge, Autocad Inventor, NX CAD & AutoCAD. Drawing creation is a significant step in the detailed design of any new product development cycle. Any components can be manufactured only by referencing Part drawings, and part drawings remain a legal document communicating the design intent to the manufacturing and inspection teams. The five crucial pieces of information in any part drawing to complete it are Drawing Views, Dimensions, Tolerance values, Material specification and Finishing details. Tolerancing plays an essential role in the cost to manufacture a component. If the tolerance is liberal, then the cost to manufacture and inspect is less, but if the tolerance is very tight, then the price to manufacture and inspect a component is very high, leading to the expensive product cost. GD&T Provides the advantage of providing relaxed tolerances through the use of Modifiers, Bonus tolerance and Datum shift and simplifies part inspection with the use of functional Guages (Go & No go gauges). Altogether, GD&T Lowers the cost to manufacture and inspect a Part compared to conventional square tolerances; hence, most companies adopt only GD&T as their dimensioning and tolerancing methods. It has become mandatory for any Mechanical engineer to start their career in the Design team.

Frequently Asked Questions :

GD&T has become the standard method of Dimensioning and Tolerancing in all modern Manufacturing Companies. CADflix team provides you with the best possible ways to learn Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing in the way it is used in industries for product design. All our trainers have years and years of experience in using GD&T in Product design in MNC’s and ensure you learn not just CAD Software’s or GD&T symbols but also learn how to apply the same in designing functional products. You learn quickly and understand deeply when we learn it from somebody who speaks in our native language. All our trainers here at CADflix will teach you in your native language to help you understand the GD&T Methodologies to the depth and breadth in the same way it’s used in Industries. If you have any questions related to our Course, Trainers, Please feel free to contact us at +91 – 93 63 94 63 63, and one of our trainers will answer all your questions.

Which is Better? Pre-recorded videos or Learning Live from Experts?

Learning GD&T directly from industrial experts live is always better than just watching pre-recorded videos.

• Live training sessions will be more interactive, And doubts were clarified instantly with the trainers, whereas in pre-recorded videos, doubts clarification is not a straightforward way; you have to send an email to the trainers and wait for his response.
• In a Live session, Trainers has to be expert in the subject matter. Only then will he be able to take sessions to live online. Whereas pre-recorded videos won’t require any Expertise as it’s recorded and edited multiple times.
• Trainers also speak more about current industry trends, case examples and teach with the most upto date technologies and best practices. Whereas in pre-recorded courses, it is not the case. The course is not updated frequently; it might have been recorded a couple of years before and won’t be up to date.
• Live sessions improve students’ commitment to complete the courses, whereas, in pre-recorded video classes, students often postpone viewing classes. A significant percentage of students were not completing the course at all.
• On all aspects, Live online training is far superior to pre-recorded courses. All CADflix training is live courses and helps you understand the subject well and help you complete the course on time.
