Tolerance Stack Up Analysis

A tolerance analysis is typically done to determine if parts will assemble successfully and function properly when tolerances are taken into account. It assumes parts are rigid and machined to the middle of their tolerances. A tolerance analysis can determine if tolerances can be increased to lower costs, if parts will meet requirements under worst conditions, and provides documentation of dimensional design requirements for potential future issues.
