•       Design, quality, and manufacturing personnel in the same class
•       Follows along with the Print Reading Workbook
•       Updated to the latest ASME Y14.100-2017 standard
•       Includes a basic intro to GD&T

Program Description: This course focuses on the basics of engineering drawings. These skills are essential in mechanical design, production and inspection. GD&T training students will develop skills to draw and visualize parts using orthographic projection (multi-view drawings) thru hands-on practice. Participants will use cutting planes to create sectional views and learn to project auxiliary views.

Students will understand the importance of drawing management such as; title blocks, bill of materials, drawings notes, revisions etc. The course will also cover the application and interpretation of dimensions, surface finishes, screw threads/fasteners, and welding symbols. This GD&T training program also introduces various manufacturing processes to produce mechanical parts and assemblies. In addition, the students will be provided with a simple introduction to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing symbols and terms. Program may also be customized to company parts and prints.
