Question

Give reasons why the control of dimensional tolerances in manufacturing is important.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tolerance is important for the very fact that providing proper tolerances ensures proper fittings of different parts.                                            

Explanation:

Tolerance and dimensioning is an important link between manufacturing and engineering.

Tolerance optimization leads to high cost of machined part to be produced and also provides good quality product. Whereas loose tolerance means reduction in cost but poor quality product. hence it is very important and critical to provide the right tolerance while designing a product.

                               Tolerance also influence what type of production processes to be selected by the process planners. The optimization of the tolerances during the design phase has a positive impact on the results coming out of the manufacturing processes.

                                Providing proper tolerances ensures that the parts will fit properly.

Therefore, providing proper tolerances, the engineers shares the responsibility to manufacture the parts correctly.
