Why Are GD&T Standards so Important for Members of Engineering and Design Teams? GD&T is an efficient way of communicating the measurement conditions and specifications of a part. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a language representative of engineering drawings to classify deviations and tolerance of part measurements and geometric analysis. Still, it is the first of a series of blogs that will shed some light on the topic and hopefully raise your awareness around GD&T.Īccording to ASME Y14.5-2018, “Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect) geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and possible size of individual features, and to define the acceptable variation between components.” Dimensioning specifications define the nominal, as-modeled, or as-intended geometry. Please note that this blog is brief and will not explain everything related to GD&T we would need more space than this page contains to explain everything about GD&T.
In this blog, I will cover what GD&T is, how it can help you develop a consistent part measurement process and the importance of datums in GD&T for engineers and designers.

AMT Digital Post-Production Hardware SystemsĪre you familiar with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)? Maybe you are, but you may lack understanding of how to utilize it or why it might be necessary.
