We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Dimensional Tolerances",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Wizard tests products at CAD stage from
Geomate, which we summarised at the time by saying "ToleranceCalc 5.0 allows users to perform 'what if' analysis of available manufacturing capabilities to determine the right balance between cost and performance of products".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Roller chain offers low friction from
Iwis-Flexon: "Nanochain has a higher strength and rigidity than conventional maintenance-free chains and is ideally suited for high-speed operation and high loads".
In May 2007, we covered the news from James Walker Keaflex
concerning its James Walker Keaflex brochure
- take a look at New elastomer brochure released
which says: "James Walker Keaflex' six-page brochure illustrates the ranges of products manufactured as well as the specialist services offered".
Take a look also at the news release from Harmonic Drive UK, Precision gear sets claimed as world's smallest,
as well as Springs set the seal for automotive pumps from Bauer,
and Acetal resin combines strength with lightness from DuPont (UK).
