Can anybody tell me something about the GM Toolkit? How it works and what is its main functions?

Thanks a lot.

Only available if you are a supplier to GM.

Lots of custom programs for checking models and creating drawings to GM standards.

RE: About GM Toolkit

I had to use the GM toolkit a couple of years ago. At the time GM offered a half day training class. It covered how to use the toolkit as well as what GM will and will not accept. It was a great help.

RE: About GM Toolkit

I use GM Toolkit.
Just as Ben said, "lots of custom programs"
I use it mostly to create 11X17 GM Standard drawings
and for Checking for DCS (Data Creation Standard) compliance.

There are a lot of tools and I only know some of them.
Don't have the time to check out the other stuff.

I did use the tank analysis.  It has options to determine
at what level a certain volume of a tank would be, including vapor levels, and at different grades.

White Paper - Addressing Tooling and Casting Requirements at the Design Stage
Several of the tooling and casting requirements of a part can be addressed at the design stage. If these requirements are not addressed at the design stage, lot of time is spent in design iteration when the design reaches the die caster. These design issues lead to increase in time and cost of production leading to delay in time to market and reduced profits for the organization. Download Now
