It is widely acknowledged that the allocation of part tolerances is a highly responsible task
due to the complex repercussions on both product quality and cost. As a consequence …

Identifying a suitable compromise between tight and thus expensive tolerances and wide
tolerances that may negatively influence the product quality is a major challenge. This paper …

Tolerance-cost optimisation, ie using optimisation techniques for tolerance allocation, is
frequently used to determine a cost-efficient tolerance design that can meet the stringent …

The manufacturing/assembly error of machine parts is a key factor that influences the
performance and economy of mechanical systems. To achieve high assembly precision and …

Construction of the quality tolerances (QT) function is a key step in assembly tolerance
analysis process. This paper presents a new feature-based tolerance analysis method for …

Fiber-reinforced additive manufacturing components have been used in various industrial
applications in recent years, including in the production of aerospace, automobile, and …

The tolerancing integration in CAD model is among the major interests of most mechanical
manufacturers. Several researches have been established approaches considering the …

Traditionally, tolerance allocation and scheduling have been dealt with separately in the
literature. The aim of tolerance allocation is to minimize the tolerance cost. When scheduling …

In a manufacturing system, inappropriate machine selection may lead to many problems by
negatively affecting productivity, precision, flexibility and product quality, and machine …

Due to the effect of gravity on machine tools, the small deformations inevitably exist. The
existing tolerance allocation methods are based on the rigid body assumption, which ignore …
