Course Description

A practical course bridging the gap between drawing requirements and effective inspection practices.

The GD&T Inspection course provides a practical understanding of inspection considerations based on the drawing requirements. It focuses on real-world applications, bridging manual inspection methods with digital equipment such as CMM inspections. Participants will learn the GD&T inspection mindset - how to simulate part setups, measure parts using metrology equipment, and report inspection results.

And, GD&T Inspection isn't just for inspectors; it's designed for anyone involved in the lifecycle of a manufactured part. Understanding how a part is inspected is critical for making the right decisions as a machinist, design engineer, or manager.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Perform the GD&T inspection process; setup, measure, & report
• Understand reality of metrology and measurement uncertainty
• Recognize essential manual tools for inspection
• Check size dimensions according to standards
• Learn how to physically setup and simulate part datum features
• Analyze inspection results and compare to drawing requirements
• Measure and calculate bonus tolerance based on size and position
• Apply standardized reporting methods for both CMM and manual results
• Transition from physical setups to digital setups using CMM
