2004 ASME Y14.41 Solid Model Tolerancing Class Tolerance Stacks Digital Instructor's Kit Advanced Concepts of GD&T Digital Instructor's Kit ETI
to Exhibit Products at 2004 Quality Expo in Detroit GD&T Trainer Professional Edition: New Software Takes GD&T Training to the Professional Level Solid Model Tolerancing Course Explains New ASME Y14.41 Standard ETI offers a one-day solid model tolerancing course for designers, engineers, and managers who are implementing math-based product development processes. WESTLAND, MI - Effective Training Inc. (ETI) announces a new course that explains fundamental definitions, concepts, and methods from the new ASME Y14.41-2003 Standard on Digital Product Definition Data Sets. The course, Solid Model Tolerancing, was developed by ETI president, Alex Krulikowski, Chairman of the ASME Y14.41 Committee on Solid Model Tolerancing. It's intended for designers, engineers, and managers who are implementing math-based product development processes. The Y14.41 Standard establishes requirements for preparing, organizing and interpreting 3D digital product images. It also provides a guide for CAD software developers working on improved modeling and annotation practices for the engineering community. The Solid Model Tolerancing course is not based on any single CAD system or product development process. It covers concepts and standards that can be applied with a number of CAD systems. "ASME Y14.41 advances the capabilities of Y14.5, Dimensioning and Tolerancing, the widely used standard pertaining to 2D engineering drawings," said Krulikowski. "It defines the exceptions and sets forth the requirements to existing ASME standards for using product definition data or drawings in 3D digital format. The Solid Model Tolerancing course explains the benefits of a math-based product development process, discusses details of the new standard, and teaches how to create model and drawing (reduced dimension drawings) as a data set in accordance with Y14.41." The one-day course discusses the gaps, issues and challenges facing industry in transitioning to a math-based product development process. It also explains the current status, issues and future of tolerancing models in industry. To learn more about the course, visit the ETI website: http://etinews.com/onsite_training.html. Krulikowski has established a digital tolerancing forum to discuss issues related to tolerancing of solid models. The forum shares information on the capabilities, technical and implementation issues, and uses of digital tolerance information. More information about joining the forum can be found at ETI's website: http://www.etinews.com/dig-tol-forum. ETI is a world leader in the field of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). The company provides on-site workshops that teach GD&T fundamentals and advanced concepts; tolerance stacks; an ISO/ASME standards comparison; and a GD&T overview. They are an international supplier of GD&T training software, books, videos and other teaching materials. To find out

ETI Releases Tolerance Stacks Instructor’s Kit on CD-ROM ETI’s new training software contains everything needed to teach tolerance stacks on one self-running CD-ROM. Westland, Michigan — Effective Training announces the third in a series of digital kits for instructors, educational institutions, and organizations that develop their own GD&T training materials. The Digital Instructor’s Kit: Tolerance Stacks contains everything needed to teach a course on tolerance accumulation studies (stacks) on one self-running CD-ROM. The software saves hundreds of hours of course preparation time and is a cost-effective and convenient alternative to developing training programs from scratch. Exclusively from ETI, the materials in this advanced course teach how to calculate tolerance stacks, a crucial skill in today’s competitive workplace. Students learn to solve problems in the design stage instead of the production stage. The course explains how to use tolerance stacks to establish part tolerances, analyze design, create process designs, use geometric tolerances in stacks, and much more. The Windows-based program was designed by GD&T expert Alex Krulikowski for use with a computer and a multimedia projector. It includes over 450 full-color digital slides, reproducible course agendas, handouts and quizzes. The touch of a button reveals definitions and examples point by point. Drawing tools allow instructors to “digitally” draw on the slides. The lesson screens contain detailed drawings and graphics that illustrate concepts and help students understand how to apply stacks on the job. The reproducible course materials open instantly with Adobe Acrobat Reader and can be printed effortlessly. It uses keyboard or mouse navigation. The Digital Instructor’s Kit: Tolerance Stacks software is now available from ETI. Visit ETI’s website (http://www.etinews.com/digkit) for more details, screenshots, and a free downloadable demo. ETI also provides versions that teach GD&T fundamentals and advanced concepts. Call 800-886-0909 to find out more about their educational discount.
