Design-for-Tolerancing

This is one of OSE tenets - designing for allowing for maximum tolerances without diminishing performance.

Tolerance in design - [1]

Principles

1. Tolerancing is the Precision and Accuracy with which parts are built to allow for parts fit in assembly, to guarantee the desired function.
2. Tolerancing depends on the tradeoff between manufacturability and function.
3. Design for Tolerancing depends completely on the function and purpose of the design in question.
