John Acosta

John Acosta has over 29 years of manufacturing experience as a CNC programmer, CAD engineer, CMM programmer, and quality engineer. His extensive knowledge of shop floor operations—from design through final inspection—gives him a unique perspective on GD&T and how it is applied at every stage of the manufacturing process. This experience allows him to effectively bridge the communication gap that can sometimes occur between design, manufacturing, and quality teams.

For more than 15 years, John has instructed both Fortune 500 companies and small shop operations in the proper application of GD&T. He is certified at the Senior Level in GD&T by ASME to both the 1994 and 2009 standards. John has also completed Phases One and Two of AUKOM (Zeiss Metrology Academy). He is a regular attendee of ASME Y14 committee meetings and is a member of the ASME Y14.36 subcommittee.
