Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
![Page 2: GD&T - Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050706/563dbb5b550346aa9aac78c2/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is GD&T?
• Rules based method of placing dimensions and tolerances on a drawing
• Considers actual part function and interfaces
• Tolerances relative to functional features
• Not in a vacuum. Must consider role in an assembly
![Page 3: GD&T - Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050706/563dbb5b550346aa9aac78c2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why use GD&T?
• Saves money– Maximum producibility
– Maximum component tolerances - over conservative designs
– Bonus tolerances
• Focus on functional relationships
• Insures interchangeability
![Page 4: GD&T - Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050706/563dbb5b550346aa9aac78c2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why use GD&T? (cont’d)
• Drawing uniformity, no misinterpretations
• Control of complex geometry
• Becoming the standard
![Page 5: GD&T - Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050706/563dbb5b550346aa9aac78c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
When to use GD&T?
• Features critical to function or interchangeability
• Functional gaging desired
• Need consistency between tooling, manufacturing and inspection operations
• Standard interpretation or tolerance not implied
![Page 6: GD&T - Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050706/563dbb5b550346aa9aac78c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two key elements of GD&T
• Datums - The reference features that the tolerances are given with respect to.
• Geometric Tolerances - The zone in which a controlled feature must lie.
![Page 7: GD&T - Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050706/563dbb5b550346aa9aac78c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Datums
A theoretically exact point, axis, or plane derived from the true geometric counterpart of
a specified datum feature.
![Page 8: GD&T - Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050706/563dbb5b550346aa9aac78c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Datum Feature
The actual feature (hole, slot, surface, etc.) on a part that is used to establish the datum.
