GD&T Level III: Advanced Applications & Analysis
Presented by the International Institute for Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing

This course is for those who want to deepen their understanding of the Y14.5 Standard from an advanced applications and analysis perspective.
 
Course outline:

In-depth analysis & implications of advanced Y14.5 principles

• Multiple feature patterns used to define a single datum & negative implications of using "non-functional" surfaces as datum features
  
• 3D analysis of composite position callouts in relationship to multiple hole patterns defined as single datums
  
• Calculations for determining allowable position tolerance for floating and fixed fastener designs
  
• Positioning holes and patterns of holes at "zero tolerance" for optimizing manufacturability and critical cost reductions
  
• Positioning functional coaxial cylinders from independent datum features vs. to each other and defined as compound datum features
  
• Boundary principles used with profile for non-cylindrical shapes
  
• Contoured surfaces as datum features
  
• Mathematical definitions and implications of ASME Y14.5.1M-1994
  
• Surface roughness implications for features of size and form constraints 

Optimization strategies in applications and analysis of design, manufacturing, and measurement

• Common error implications of dimensioning & tolerancing of tooling and functional gaging, based on product designs
  
• Negative implications of common incorrect measurement procedures on CMMs and procedures to resolve/minimize problems
• Profile definitions and boundary implications in corner transition areas
• Uncertainty implications of ASME Y14.5 and transformation/development efforts that affect all technical areas
• Chracterization of physical-to-functional heirarchies and the importance of this analysis to realizing optimum functional intent
• Examination of students' drawings with an eye toward making them clearer so as to optimize design intent and maximize ROI

Advanced tolerancing development within Y14.5

• Extension principles for datums used in non-standard designs
• Complex 3D profile geometry and tolerance boundaries
• Critical simplification of Y14.5
• Statistical tolerancing

Implications of GD&T for Six-sigma initiatives and product reliability
