Computer-aided Tolerancing: Proceedings of the 4th CIRP Design Seminar The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, April 5-6, 1995

Theory and practice of tolerances are very important for designing and manufacturing engineering artifacts on a rational basis. Tolerance specifies a degree of "discrepancy" between an idealized object and its physical realization. Such discrepancy inevitably comes into our product realization processes because of practical cost consideration or our inability to fully control manufacturing processes. Major product and production characteristics which are affected by tolerances are product q...
