Recognize these issues?
Which dimensions are functional now? Which tolerances will affect the function of my design? Are all my components adequately dimensioned?
How we can help
By focusing on the tolerance vector diagram and its possible influences, you will gain a better understanding of the tolerance sensitivity of the design.
Course objectives
The purpose of this training is to encourage draftspeople and product developers to consider tolerances and their impact on their product.
At the end of the two-day course, participants will be able to:
- understand the dimensional and functional relationships of systems and components.
- control and structurally resolve tolerance risks.
- translate GD&T to the tolerance studies.
- apply basic statistics to tolerance studies.
- make assumptions in a design, draw a conclusion based on the result and optimize.
The tool used is an Excel spreadsheet with a 1D vector diagram as a basis.
Target group
The course is intended for anyone whose work involves product development and has preferably already taken the GD&T short course.

The spreadsheet works only with symmetric distributions. Asymmetric distributions are reduced to symmetric ones. For this reason, it is not possible to go down to the µ's accurately.
In a fairly simple way, you can quickly gain insight into your tolerance structure, repeatability, and the sensitivities of your design.
