- [Instructor] Geometric dimensioning
and tolerancing practices build upon
and improve existing tolerancing methods.
While some symbols may be new and unfamiliar at first,
learning how to read geometric dimensioning
and tolerancing notation will make it easier
to understand how much dimensional error can be tolerated
before a part will fail inspection.
With that knowledge, a machine operator
can minimize cost and maximize efficiency.
Some learning curve is involved in order to begin using
geometric dimensioning and tolerancing notation.
The time invested to learn this information
has valuable benefits in quality and efficiency for a shop.
Not to mention the fact that engineers
will increasingly require their suppliers
to use geometric dimensioning and tolerancing notations.
