Tolerance Stacks Webinar Series: Part 2: Stacks with GD&T
This session presents a methodical approach to tolerance stacks that involve geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Different GD&T symbols must be handled differently; some are bilateral, but some can be unilateral. Also discussed are virtual condition and resultant condition, two simple formulas to determine worst-case inner and outer locus when a position tolerance is invoked. A basic knowledge of geometric tolerancing is recommended, and also some familiarity with the basic two-column stack spreadsheet method. The target audience is design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and quality personnel who perform tolerance stacks. Many samples will be shown for the most common GD&T symbols.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  • Determine which GD&T symbols need to be accounted for in a stack
  • Calculate virtual and resultant conditions
  • Factor tolerances of form, orientation, location, runout, and profile into a stack

Session Outline:
  • Brief review of GD&T
  • Virtual condition and resultant condition
  • Stacks using location (RFS) and runout
  • Stacks using profile tolerances
  • Stacks using form and orientation

Who Should Attend:
  • Manufacturing engineers
  • Product engineers
  • Designers
  • Quality personnel

Each session includes an approximately 70-minute presentation and a brief Q&A session at the end. Unlimited participants are allowed at each login site. All registrants receive 180 days of free access to the recording of the live session.
