Tec-Ease’s Fundamentals of GD&T (1994) course provides essential training for Department of Defense (DoD) vendors and contractors who must accurately understand and apply engineering requirements within highly regulated environments. Aligned with the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard, the course covers the core symbols, terminology, and rules of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, while emphasizing the GD&T Hierarchy to help participants understand the relationships between tolerances and apply them in a clear, functional, and cost-effective manner.
Participants develop a strong foundation in key concepts such as datum precedence, material condition modifiers, feature control frames, and the application of form, orientation, profile, and position tolerances as defined in the 1994 standard.
For DoD suppliers working with technical data packages (TDPs)—many of which still reference legacy standards—this training enhances the ability to understand drawings accurately, reduce miscommunication across design, manufacturing, and inspection, and maintain compliance with stringent military and aerospace requirements. The result is improved quality, reduced rework, and dependable performance in mission-critical applications.
Fundamentals of GD&T courses are available in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards from 2018, 2009, and 1994.
