Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes precision engineering from classic design?

The tolerances and the size. Precision engineering is about micrometres, tolerance chains, bearings, springs and drives in a small space, often combined with optics or electronics. What is needed is tolerance analysis and manufacturing knowledge of precision parts, not just CAD.
