GD&T Onsite Instruction

GD&T Onsite Instruction

GD&T Onsite Instruction

(OP)
Hello,

I am interested in setting up an onsite instructional course in GD&T for myself and my group of ME's. I have googled and come up with tons of crap. I am hoping that someone on these boards can help to filter some things out and possibly make some suggestions.

I talked with some engineers at my previous company and they took this kind of course and it was taught by a fellow named Norman W. Cutler (not sure of the spelling). My buddies told me his company was loosely named Dimensional Engineering and that it seemed to be a one man operation. All of my searches for this person/company have come up empty.

I'm not neccessarily looking for this particular person/company but any reputable course/instruction that would be willing to come onsite would be awesome.

My company is located in Newport, RI for reference.  

Thanks.

Adam

Al Neumann's GD&T program is tops.

RE: GD&T Onsite Instruction

Check w/ technical colleges and engineering schools in the area.  I've been through three on-site courses.  All instructors were found through tech colleges by way of a local "manufacturing extension partnership"  ("MEP").

Ive emailed the ME Department Head at a local university of assistance.

PS: TCI looks very promising...

RE: GD&T Onsite Instruction

I did a course at a local community college and then advance on-site training with TCI.  I didn't learn much about GD&T in my college courses....I guess we were to busy learning the theory.  Looking back on it now it was most likely because most of the professors didn't have real world design experience like creating technical drawings.

RE: GD&T Onsite Instruction

(OP)
yeah, I am in the same boat. Im a new engineer, just started in april where i work in engineering and I didnt learn a single thing about drawings or gd&t. My only knowledge of drawings came from a drafting class I took in junior high school and what I was able to teach myself!

I've also found out that most of the guys I work with here, mostly ME's, have never had formal training in drawings or gd&t either hence my reason for wanting to set something up.

RE: GD&T Onsite Instruction

Adam,
          Is your management behind using GD&T? What type of products does your company design?
          I have noticed that people who do not know GD&T go over board.

RE: GD&T Onsite Instruction

A lot of people who use GD&T have never had any training and what a mess. I know that it is not taught that well in Universities in Canada and sometimes the training you get is taught by someone who is not certified or really knows the subject that well.

Good luck in your hunt.

RE: GD&T Onsite Instruction

Adam,

There are lots of experienced GD&T trainers that would be willing to provide on-site training.  I'm one of them, and I can recommend other possibilities for you if I'm not the right fit.  Have a look at my web site (www.axymetrix.ca) and contact me if you are interested in discussing things further.

Gary Whitmire, www.draftingzone.com I can't remember if his actual training is through Genium or separate.

He did training at my place just before I started here, so sadly I missed it, but I've gone through his notes and they're pretty good.

He is/was on the 14.5 committee if I recall correctly.

I attended couple of GD$T classes. The first one - and the best one - was by Mr. Donald Day.

RE: GD&T Onsite Instruction

I had a couple of public training courses a few years back with a great instructor from Tec-Ease.  I liked their teaching method of the subject and he was quite comfortable answering the many questions I had.  I still use the course materials quite often when trying to explain GD&T principles with co-wokers.

I have no experience with any other training suppliers, so I can not offer any direct comparison between various companies or say which is best suited towards your needs.  I do know of two benifits that make Tec-Ease stand out vs the others.  One is that their Standard-Ease software is sold directly by ASME and it is included with their course.  The other, which I only just noticed today, is that Tec-Ease is a sponsor of this great resource, eng-tips.com
