Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a symbolic language and standardized system (per ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS) used on engineering drawings to define the allowable variation in the form, size, orientation, and location of manufactured parts and their features. Mechanical engineers, machinists, and quality inspectors use GD&T to ensure that parts fit and function correctly when manufactured, enabling clear communication of design intent between design and production teams. It is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and precision manufacturing industries.
