What is Tolerance Analysis?

Tolerance analysis is a crucial process in mechanical engineering that:

  1. Identifies and measures the effects of design variables at different stages of production
  2. Predicts dimensional and geometric variations in components and assemblies
  3. Optimizes designs to reduce final production costs and minimize manufacturing defects

Since design variations are inevitable due to manufacturing constraints, assembly processes, and material properties, tolerance analysis helps ensure product quality, performance, and manufacturability.
