Understanding the international engineering language of GD&T is essential for communicating in today's highly competitive global marketplace. This program builds the ability to read and interpret GD&T symbols, which provide increased information about the function and relationship of part features. One critical result is the proper fit of mating parts. This program provides three-dimensional models and the flexibility to integrate your company's own parts, so learners can use their new knowledge as soon as they return to the shop floor.
