SUMMARY:Advanced Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
DESCRIPTION:Even with an understanding of the fundamentals of GD&T\, many professionals still lack the confidence to expertly and deliberately apply geometric tolerancing and perform tolerance stack-up analyses to clearly define their product designs. Like with any language\, this deeper understanding is built off the fundamentals. \nProgram Logistics\n\nOn-Site Delivery: 2 Days (16 Hours)\nOnline Delivery: 4x 3.5-hour sessions (14 hours synchronous instruction + asynchronous pre-work / homework)\nCost: $1\,399\nCEUs: 1.4\nModes of Teaching and Learning: Lecture/discussion\, Individual work sessions\, Group work sessions\, Large print review\nTextbook: GeoTol Pro 2020\, TCI\nWorkbook (additional for virtual): Advanced GD&T Workbook\, WPI\nInstructor: Charles A.

This course reinforces fundamentals and provides applications-based exercises where students apply what they have learned. Applications exercises and calculations are performed individually and in teams. The use of functional dimensioning and tolerancing schemes and its effect on assemblies is emphasized throughout the course. Students will expand their understanding of the implications of their specifications on function\, manufacturing\, inspection\, and quality.

SUMMARY:Basic Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
DESCRIPTION:  \nGeometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is the universally accepted method of communicating dimensioning requirements on engineering drawings. This workshop will help you understand and use this universal engineering language to communicate the types and amounts of the inevitable variation that parts are allowed to have\, per the drawing. \nCourse Description & Outline\nIntended for practicing professionals who create drawing specifications or read drawings\, this course helps students make sense of a topic that some find overwhelming. In a safe learning environment\, the key principles are explained and brought down to the real world. More than simply memorizing symbols\, students leave this course with a working understanding of how the system works and feel confident fully understanding drawing requirements and creating their own tolerancing schemes for parts. This course provides lots of practical hands on exercises to drive home the concepts and encourage questions and effective discussions. The exercises go beyond the theory to show how tolerancing works on real working parts. \n\nFundamentals of GD&T: Types of variation and how they’re controlled. Features of size and surfaces. Rule #1. Definitions of maximum material condition (MMC) and least material condition (LMC) and how they are used to determine bonus tolerance.\nTolerances of Form: Controls of flatness\, straightness\, circularity and cylindricity. Examples on how they are specified\, their meaning and principles of verification. Straightness and flatness controls applied to features of size and surfaces.\nConcept of Datums and the Datum Reference Frame: The common point of reference for the part definition from design through manufacturing and inspection. How imperfect parts are measured according to the design intent.\nTolerances of Orientation: Controls of parallelism\, perpendicularity\, and angularity applied to surfaces and features of size. Examples on their use and meaning as well as verification principles.\nTolerances of Location: Controls of position\, comparison and conversion from conventional tolerancing. Applications and examples of position used for various features. Composite position tolerances. The classic examples of floating and fixed fasteners will be cited to demonstrate tolerancing for position to avoid interference problems of fit. Projected tolerance zone. Concentricity and symmetry interpretation and application.\nTolerances of Profile: Controls of profile of a line and profile of a surface. Equally disposed and unequally disposed profile tolerances. Profile tolerances applied to multiple surfaces. Examples of various simple and complex surfaces.\nTolerances of Runout: Controls of circular runout and total runout.\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nName the four types of variation that exist on parts\, recognize the limitations of numeric tolerances and understand the need for geometric tolerances.\nAnalyze tolerances expressed numerically and calculate minimum and maximum allowable values for dimensions.\nUnderstand and apply the symbols used with the geometric system of tolerances.\nRecognize basic dimensions on prints and understand their meaning.\nIdentify and properly read feature control frames.\nRecognize when bonus tolerance is available and calculate geometric tolerance values when bonus tolerance applies.\nCreate specifications using bonus tolerance where applicable\nRecognize datum feature identifiers applied to features with size and surfaces.\nIdentify the datum reference frame including order of precedence.\nRecognize when datum shift is used and calculate the amount of shift.\nIdentify and interpret geometric controls on location\, orientation\, form\, profile & runout.\nConstruct illustrations of tolerance zones defined by geometric controls\, including 3D and 2D tolerance zones\,and those allowed to move.\nProperly evaluate inspection data in light of tolerance zones defined by geometric controls.\n\nWho Should Attend\nCAD draftspersons\, tool designers\, technical inspectors\, mechanical engineering\, technicians\, machine shop and tool room supervisors. Design\, manufacturing\, and project engineers\, quality control personnel\, engineering managers and supervisors will also find this workshop beneficial. \n  \nFor More Information on the Certificate Click Here \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:DFM\, DFA and now DFx Workshop & Opportunity for Grant Funded Design Assistance
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Details: \n\nWorkshop: 2-day\, in-person workshop exploring the critical elements of Design for Excellence and refining your vision for maximizing your product. (See details below) \nUp to $10\,000 of Expert DFX Support: New Program Benefit!\nParticipants will be given the opportunity to qualify for up to $10\,000 of DFX support provided by Bayard Design.  While up to 10 submissions will be selected for support by Bayard we will make efforts to assist others when possible\n\nThis two-day workshop will teach participants about different cost-saving and efficient design processes such as Design for Manufacturability\, Design for Assembly\, and Value Engineering. Classroom discussions will include analyzing manufacturing processes\, along with the benefits and drawbacks of each. \nUP TO $10\,000 Of EXPERT DFX SUPPORT- DETAILS: \nOnce you have refined your DFX needs we would like to provide further assistance in maximizing your product design.  At the end of the workshop participants will be given a “DFX Project Scope Support Request Form” outlining areas in which you desire professional assistance. \nThis form can then be submitted for review by MassMEP\, MassRobotics and Bayard Design to determine if your request can be addressed with the EDA MERT 2.0 funded support.  You will be provided help in completing this request form during the workshop and virtually after the workshop.  Once submitted you will receive notification\, within 5 days\, of potential additional support being offered to you. \nIn this Workshop: \nParticipants will learn how Design for Manufacturability (DFM) leads to finding the most cost-effective manufacturing processes that meet the customer’s specifications. In addition\, participants will learn how the Design for Assembly methodology can be used to develop the most cost-effective and productive way to design products for assembly. This training will also teach participants about Value Engineering and how it minimizes costs while maintaining functionality. \nWho Should Attend: \nThis training is most beneficial to design engineers and other engineering and manufacturing personnel however\, all levels of the company would benefit. \nCost Of Workshop: \nThis two-day workshop totals $99. Please be on the lookout for coupon codes on MassMEP Social (LinkedIn\, FaceBook\, Twitter\, Instagram). \nLocation: \nMassMEP\, 27A Midstate Drive Auburn\, MA 01501 Suite 200\, 508-831-7020 \n  \nRegister Here
