Tolerance, representing a permissible variation of a dimension in an engineering drawing, is
synthesized by considering assembly stack-up conditions based on manufacturing cost …

Tolerancing involves considerations from all phases of the life cycle of a product including
design, manufacturing, assembly, and inspection. Along with minimum cost and maximum …

Tolerance design has become a very sensitive and important issue in product and process
development because of increasing demand for quality products and the growing …

Automatic assignment of tolerances to dimensioned mechanical assemblies is studied as an
optimization problem; the objective of which is to minimize the (manufacturing) cost, subject …

When designers assign tolerances on engineering drawings, they have a significant
influence on the resulting cost and producibility of manufactured products. A rational basis …

This paper introduces and formalizes a method for specifying independent functional
tolerances in an optimal least-cost manner. Previous methods have been thwarted by …

As a first step in developing a synthesis technique for assisting designers to specify
tolerances in product design, a new 3D statistical tolerance analysis approach is proposed …

A substantial amount of all quality problems that arise during assembly can be referred back
to the geometrical design, and especially the geometrical concept of the product, ie the way …

This paper presents a new approach to the synthesis of geometric tolerances in the design
process. In the published literature minimum cost has been the main criterion for tolerance …

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 …
