Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in Design through Manufacturing

Date : 23 to 24 June, 2026

Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Pune

INTRODUCTION

Understand the role of GD&T in the reduction of manufacturing cost and lead time as well as enhanced product reliability. Thorough knowledge of GD&T – the essential link, connecting the functional departments in the manufacturing industry – is a must for engineers. Many times lack of proper understanding/misconceptions about GD&T lead to depriving the true benefits of GD&T in terms of enhanced reliability of the product, saving in manufacturing cost, reduction in lead time, etc. Learn the fundamentals of GD&T in detail with application examples.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association is organising a 2 days training programme on "Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in Design through Manufacturing".

FOCUS AREAS		KEY TAKE AWAYS
Tolerance, types of tolerances, why tolerance is required? History, Introduction and understanding the need for GD & T Fundamental rules of GD&T per ASME - Rule1 and Rule2 Coordinate vs Geometric tolerancing Definitions of Terms and Symbols: Feature, FOS, FCF, MMC, LMC and RFS DRF thro definition of datums and DOF restrained by primary, secondary and tertiary datums Calculation of bonus tolerance per MMC / LMC Five groups of GD&T parameters - Form, Orientation, Location, Run out and Profile Form tolerances and applications Straightness Flatness Circularity Cylindricity Orientation tolerances and applications Parallelism Perpendicularity Angularity Location tolerances and applications Position Concentricity Symmetry Run out tolerances and applications Circular run out Total run out Profile tolerances and applications Profile of a line Profile of a surface Learn to Interpret above through Case Studies and Exercises Inspection Methodology for GD&T Parameters		After undergoing the programme, the participants will be able to learn - Understand the concepts of GD&T features and correctly interpret GD&T symbols in Engineering Drawings Learn about using tolerances at RFS, MMC and LMC conditions and Calculate Bonus tolerance. Gain a practical insight into inspection of GD&T features using conventional methods, Co-ordinate Measuring Machine and functional gauges. Implement GD&T controls for a new project with proper selection of datum features.

Faculty

This programme will be conducted by, IMTMA Subject Matter Expert.

He is having over 28 years of experience in the industry, in the field of manufacturing of precision components for Nuclear, Aerospace & Automation industry. He has acquired expertise in the application and use of GD&T principles in precision manufacturing of components as well as experience in conducting training programs. He has imparted training in CNC, CAD/CAM, CMM & GD&T for more than 1500 engineers. Has conducted more than 30 batch of Finishing school. Trained industry professionals from TVS, Ceratizit India, Ashok Leyland, Kennametal etc. Prior to working at IMTMA, he has worked at Avasarala Technologies Limited, as Assistant Manager, in the field of machining the precision components using CNC machines. Components manufactured for prestigious projects like Centre for Advanced Technology (BIGBANG test), ITER which is expected to be operational in the year 2030 at France. He was deputed to M/s Kimberly Clark Corporation's KIMTECH plant at Neenah, Wisconsin state, United States of America for one year to understand their best manufacturing practices. At IMTMA, as Assistant Director, his role is to impart hands-on training for manufacturing professionals.
