Understanding the international engineering language of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (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.

The DVD/VHS 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.

The CD-ROM version of GD&T is a self-paced, computer-based training program that teaches trainees the basic principles of GD&T and how to work with geometric tolerances to ensure the proper fit of mating part features.
