In this video, I cover the fundamentals of tolerances, clear up common misconceptions, and illustrate how tolerances can drastically improve our designs and effectiveness as mechanical engineers. We’ll cover traditional dimensional / coordinate tolerances, how to assign them strategically, how they relate to fit and function, and how GD&T provides a better, more realistic framework for defining part requirements.
