Seats available for Monday’s free live web bonus tolerance class

We’ve had a lot of interest in our free one-hour GD&T live web public workshop this coming Monday. The “mini-workshop” on Rule #1 and bonus tolerance is from 1-2pm EST.

The course includes sample exercises, and attendees will receive a 10% off coupon to a future live web workshop. Read more about this course.

To take advantage of a GD&T live web public workshop, you need a Windows-based computer, with high-speed internet access (T1 or faster) and a phone line for teleconferencing.

It’s free, so why not try it? If you sign up by 10am Monday, we’ll still have time get you into our class and send you the bonus tolerance problems we’ll be going over. You can try live web training for yourself and learn a little more about GD&T at the same time.

Quality begins with the drawing

American culture’s impatience with time…

Charging into building the product, without sufficient thought into the design, results in a product built to many incorrect assumptions. These assumptions remain unidentified until very late and are costly to fix.

A gem from “The Stuff Americans are Made Of.”

Most drawings that I see require assumptions to interpret. We could make great strides in quality if we just made “technically correct drawings.”

Quality really begins with the drawing.
