Would you like to give your suppliers 57% more tolerance without
negatively affecting the form and fit of your PCB? You could, by
applying GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) to your
PCB fabrication drawings. This session will present the basics of
GD&T, as well as some specifics as they apply to PCBs, along with
some recommendations of appropriate values.

Geometric tolerancing is based on ASME Y14.5M-1994. Application of this
standard is becoming the preferred method of dimensioning. This also
will introduce you to IPC 2615, Printed Board Dimensions and Tolerances.
After this session, you should be able to dimension and tolerance a basic
PCB, without incurring unnecessarily tight tolerances or additional costs.
Target Audience: Anyone who creates or reads PCB Drawings.
