1 Tolerances

Tolerances are difficult and expensive to achieve precisely. Factors like material shrinkage, processing parameters, and environmental conditions impact tolerances. Standard tolerance groups only account for mold shrinkage, not other factors. Overall tolerances take all influencing aspects into account. The document recommends using geometry and location tolerances defined in ISO 2768-1 standards, which provide tolerance ranges for different plastic part sizes.

A standard for plastic tolerances is e.g. ISO 27681. On the table below are some ISO27681
