Speaker
The Clinic presentation will be made by: Phillip J. Ross
Topic
The topic for the Clinic presentation will be: Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing: Basics & Recent Changes
The GD&T standard was upgraded in 2009 with some added refinements of part delineation. This clinic will cover the basics of GD&T and the important changes that were made in the latest version of ASME Y14.5-2009. There are many opportunities for improved application and interpretation of this standard and would be useful for designers and suppliers/manufacturers of products to attend this presentation.
