Tolerance mapping

Tolerance mapping is a process used in various fields, such as engineering and manufacturing, to define acceptable limits of variation in components. It involves identifying how different parts fit together and how small changes in size or shape can affect the overall function of a product. By mapping these tolerances, designers and engineers can ensure that even with minor variations in production, the final product will work as intended, improving quality, reducing waste, and enhancing reliability. Essentially, it helps maintain the balance between precision and practicality in the creation of complex systems.
