Tolerance Stacks Self-study Course

by Alex Krulikowski

Proficiency in tolerance accumulation studies (also called stacks) separates the exceptional engineers from the rest. More than simply the study of dimensional relationships within assemblies, tolerance stacks are the key to creating robust, efficient, and successful designs. Stacks skills separate the exceptional engineers from the rest. For the first time, these skills are available in a self-study format. If you’re a designer--or a product or process engineer--this course will enhance your career.

The textbook includes 39 performance objectives to be mastered and over 50 practice stacks to calculate.
* Solve stack problems
* Work examples
* Take quizzes and tests
* Analyze illustrations
* Receive instant feedback
* Chart your progress


The Stacks Applications section contains 25 practice stacks that will enhance your skills in optimizing part designs by choosing design goals. The detailed help section reveals hints, partial answers, and total solutions as needed.

Program Calculate stacks in drawings using coordinate dimensioning and geometric tolerancing controls. Use stacks to create designs that maximize fit, function, and return on investment. Optimize part tolerances for design function and manufacturing processes.

Skill level Students should have basic blueprint reading skills and have completed courses in GD&T fundamentals and advanced concepts.

Product Stresses applications that are found on the job in real-life industrial situations. The practice stacks are from actual drawings that are provided in a separate Drawing Package. It includes a skills assessment tool and exercises at the end of each chapter to practice the concepts.
