Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Unit 1 – Introduction, Symbols, and Terms
History and Background Eli Whitney, is the inventor of the cotton gin and a pioneer in the use of mass production methods. Around 1798, he won a contract to supply muskets to the United States government. The firearms manufacture were based on the concept of interchangeable parts. He made a presentation to congress by building 10 guns and assembling and disassembling them claiming the same exact parts and mechanisms. Eli Whitney 1765 - 1825
Limit Tolerancing • Is the .620-.630 hole horizontal position measured from a true vertical plane or from the as built face? • A .005” tolerance on the horizontal and vertical position of the hole means that the position could be off by as much as.007”. max allowed error for hole center .007 +.005 perfect location for hole center +.005
Limit Tolerancing • Limit tolerances don’t have an origin or any orientation or location relative to datums. • The datums are usually implied. • The drawings are subject to different interpretations. • Plus/minus tolerancing works well for individual features of size (ex. diameter of a shaft), but does not control the relationship between individual features very well.
Geometric Tolerancing Workbook Everyone should have a workbook to follow along. It contains necessary reference information along with class exercises. Page numbers in yellow on the slides match pages in the workbook.

Tolerances • All dimensions require a tolerance. • A tolerance should be as large as possible without interfering with the function of the part to minimize production costs. • Consider how your part will be checked to see if it meets the tolerances.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT) • establish a reference coordinate system by defining datums • provide basic dimensions (perfect dimensions) relative to the datums • specify allowable tolerances
