This is more about why you should consider adding it to your company’s toolbox. An often misunderstood or misguided notion that standard tolerances are always the fastest or cheapest way to accomplish the end goal isn’t always the case. Here’s why: What is it? GD&T or Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is a pre-defined set of symbols and nomenclature. Collectively, GD&T provides a system for engineers to more precisely convey the intent of a…
