Intro to Engineering
Tolerancing is the process of defining acceptable limits of variation in a part's dimensions or geometry, ensuring that it can function properly within an assembly. It plays a critical role in manufacturing and engineering by providing specifications that facilitate production while allowing for minor imperfections. Tolerancing helps in maintaining quality control and optimizing interchangeability of parts, which is crucial when using computer-aided design (CAD) software for drafting and engineering drawings.
