Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a symbolic language used to communicate the allowable variation within a product assembly and standardizes variations in measurement. Size tolerances define the allowable variation in the size of a feature, while form tolerances describe the allowable variations in the contours of features and surfaces on a part. In this interactive, online course, we will discuss size tolerances, and form tolerances, as well as cylindricity, and circularity.
Describe the envelope principle as defined by ASME standard Y14.5
List and describe the different types of form tolerances and how they are applied to different features
Define bonus tolerance and virtual condition
