Injection Moulding Tolerances: How to Set Realistic & Cost-Effective Limits
Setting realistic injection moulding tolerances is a balancing act between functional assembly requirements and production economics. Achieving optimal precision requires a clear understanding of polymer shrinkage, part geometry, tool construction, and process capability—rather than directly applying subtractive CNC machining tolerances to moulded plastics. By establishing clear boundaries between standard and precision tolerances early in the […]
