Level 2: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and Dimensional Measurement

Level 2: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and Dimensional Measurement
Four-hours of Total In-Seat Instruction / Up to 15 students
Description
Level 2: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and Dimensional Measurement course will be presented in presentation and ‘hands on’ practical sessions where the focus is on instilling a questioning culture and the importance of implementing good practices in applying GD&T principles. Level 2 is applicable to all industrial sectors as a stand-alone course, or as a continuation of training from the Level 1 course.

Who should attend?
 • Measurement Technicians
• Tool Builders
• Quality Control

Learning objectives
 • Manufacturing Engineering Personnel
• Designers
• Production Supervisors and Managers
 • Enable students to apply the importance of using the correct measurement tools for varying applications
• Understand the fundamental principles of calibration
• Apply fundamental measurement calculations
• Communicate, question and plan the measurement process
• Respond to measurement results and related uncertainty
• Give context to the importance of current job role

Return on investment
• A visible return on investment for a manufacturing organization in the form of various production cost-savings and an up-skilled workforce
• A reduction in re-work time and waste on the production line - faults and problems will be detected earlier in the production process
• Increased productivity in production environments through reducing scrap, and rework and by improving throughput
• Reduced need for out-sourcing of measurement activities, thus reducing costs

Module details
Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) B
• To understand the principles of geometrical product specifications, covering different tolerancing principles and being able to apply them to different measurement situations.
Measurement Principles & Methods C
• Understand fundamental first principle measurement techniques. Understand the requirements of calibration standards, traceability and procedures.
