TOPICS INCLUDE:

Have you ever looked at a customer print and grimaced because it looks like hieroglyphics? With so many different customer conventions, it is sometimes difficult to understand what the customer is trying to communicate. Although this one-day session is unlikely to explain everything a customer puts on a print, engineering drawings are never intended to be “open for interpretation”. 

In this session we examine how drawing, dimensioning and tolerancing conventions get employed on fastener drawings. Along with classroom learning, students participate in multiple exercises and gain real-life examples of actual fastener prints.

• Examining different views used to describe fastener parts
  • Including orthographic projection, section views and details
• Identifying different line types and what they communicate
• Size dimensioning and tolerance practices
• Notes and note blocks, special symbols and revision practices
• A basic introduction of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This class is excellent for those in quoting, engineering, quality, and sales role or anyone that wants to become more proficient in fastener technology. 

• Quoting 
• Engineering 
• Business Development 
• Inside Sales 
• Outside Sales 
• Customer Service 
• Quality Assurance/Control 
• Any role that interacts with customers could benefit from this training
