GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONING & TOLERANCING (GD&T)

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is an international language used on business documents and drawings to accurately communicate what is going on in the picture without the use of words. The language is made up of well-defined symbols, rules, definitions, and conventions that can be used to describe an object’s geometric qualities.

This uniformity in specifications and regulations allows designers to “say what they mean” on their drawings in a manner that is consistent across the industry. GD&T training is a foundational technical skill for anyone working on a shop floor - with this knowledge employees create cost savings by reducing guesswork, controversy, and assumptions that may be made throughout the manufacturing and inspection process.
