GD&T- Advantages in engineering

Engineer,design,drafting,quality, dimensional inspection and manufacturing should have knowledge on GD&T. All of these
professions utiltize drawing interpretation and application knowledge to execute their responsibities. Parts and procurement
personnel should have some knowledge of GD&T to understand how to process a mechanical drawing for quote. GD&T
knowledge will effectively reduce product design to market time and production costs. Some of the advantages of GD&T
are listed below.

Standardization of par

Help in achieving international processes

Make drawings more clear and unambiguous

More flexible in communicating complex shapes

Uses common engineering language that helps in reducing language translation problems

Manufacturing and metrology methods are specified distinctly

Cylindrical tolerance zones and datums of a component are set distinctly

Eliminating the demand for too many notes in production documents
