The principal of Cobalt Horizons is an ASME Y14.5.2 Senior-Certified Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP S09-8163). California hosts fewer than thirty such certificate holders. This very rare professional certification independently demonstrates proficiency in the understanding and application of the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) principles expressed in ASME's widely-applied Y14.5 Standard. These principles form an essential element for the complex design language of electro-mechanical engineering serving as the foundation for tolerance analysis and determining optimum limits of allowable variation ensuring acceptable performance.
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.
