Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerance (GD&T) Blueprint Reading Live-Online
This seminar equips you with the skills and knowledge to decipher mechanical drawings with confidence. While some possess a natural talent for visualizing 3D objects from 2D drawings, anyone can achieve this skill with practice and the right guidance.
The course starts by demystifying the different drawing categories and the language of line types. We’ll then delve deeper into interpreting and visualizing orthographic projections, the cornerstone of mechanical drawings.
Additionally, we’ll explore auxiliary information like title blocks and notes, teach you to decipher dimensions and tolerances, and unpack special symbols like roughness callouts and screw threads. Throughout the seminar, you’ll gain hands-on experience through practical examples, solidifying your understanding.
