Virtual Advanced GD&T Training on October 14-16. Limited Spots Available!
While the GD&T Fundamentals course teaches a core framework for understanding GD&T, the Advanced GD&T course builds upon this to give students a more comprehensive understanding of GD&T standards and their application. GD&T standards cover every manufacturing application across every industry, and this course fleshes out our Fundamentals course framework to show how GD&T is applied for better design for manufacturability.

Composite Profile Control
Are the Datum structures in the two examples above valid for this drawing?If they are valid, wouldn’t both examples yield the same results when inspected?
