Go-To Engineer Stories

GD&T Basics / Engineer Essentials LLC

This course offers a great overview of all the key concepts of GD&T. I teach CNC machining at a technical school and found this course to be an excellent refresher on the topics I had encountered before in the workplace. The course taught me several new things about conditions and cases I had never experienced or considered, and cleared up some common misconceptions I had about GD&T practices. The material is delivered at a level that is accessible to all skill levels, from machinist apprentices to senior design engineers. The course is well formatted, contains excellent graphics and animations, and provides clear explanations for tricky topics. After just a few weeks, the GD&T Basics Fundamentals course can teach you everything you need to know to read and use GD&T in a manufacturing workplace.

The course was extremely well-taught and made difficult concepts as easy as possible to grasp. Even after just 14 hours of this course I’m already one of the more knowledgeable people at my company with GD&T, because this course is thorough and leaves no gaping holes in knowledge. I’m looking forward to the advanced course.

Recently, I passed the ASME GDTP Senior level exam. I got amazing help from your training course! Your lessons are great! Very easy! When I studied the ASME standard, it is just text, and text only... I only realized the true concept of each GD&T concept from your course.Thank you very much!

What Is GD&T and Why Is It Important?

Designers, engineers, machinists, inventors and CNC operators all need a grasp of GD&T knowledge to communicate clearly with each other.

What Is GD&T?

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is the overarching language used in design, manufacturing and quality inspection to communicate on engineering prints. GD&T combines a set of symbols, rules and principles to ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding how a feature or part is defined. When a design engineer hands off a drawing to a machinist, they need a common technical language for communicating exactly what must be done. GD&T is a system to regulate and determine that communication.
Why Is GD&T Important?

GD&T is very important to the engineering world. It is critical for anyone seeking employment in the mechanical field to understand it. Whether you are an automotive engineer or a CNC machinist, knowing the basics of GD&T is paramount to having success in your industry.

Designers, engineers, machinists, inventors, and CNC operators all need a grasp of GD&T knowledge to communicate clearly with each other.
