AB  - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is an important tool for engineers to efficiently communicate design intent and requirements. GD&T has several advantages including reducing costs by decreasing waste, producing components that are interchangeable, and allows designers to more clearly communicate functional relationships between features in drawings. However, GD&T can be difficult for students to learn due to the visualization skills needed to comprehend the inherent three-dimensional (3D) nature of the geometric tolerance zones. This paper describes an example of how 3D computer models and 3D printed parts made by Fused-Deposition Modeling (FDM) were used to illustrate several GD&T concepts including position tolerance zones, bonus tolerances, datum simulators and priority, and functional gages for part inspection. Since 3D printing technology is becoming more accessible for educators, the method used in this paper can be easily modified, expanded and implemented to teach not only the aforementioned concepts but other GD&T concepts that can be difficult to comprehend. The resources required to implement the example are a computer equipped with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and a 3D printer.
