Tolerance design plays a major role in the quality of the product life cycle. Its purpose not only can ensure the products quality. At the same time, it monitors the product manufacturing costs. The traditional the tolerance design devotes to the optimization target of minimizing the manufacturing cost. But due to the manufacturing process of a product, there is a nonlinear relation between tol...

Additive manufacturing (AM) allows for fast fabrication of three dimensional objects with the use of considerably less resources, less energy consumption and shorter supply chain than would be the case in traditional manufacturing. AM has gained significance due to its cost effective method which boasts the ability to produce components with a previously unachievable level of geometric complexi...

Abstract The tolerancing of products for manufacturing is usually performed at the end design process and responsibility designer. Although components are commonly tolerated to ensure functionality, time-based influences, like wear, that occur during operation, often neglected. This could result in small amounts scrap after production, but high quantities failure operation. To overcome this iss...

RÉSUMÉ. Le tolérancement traditionnel considère la conformité d’un lot lorsque le lot de production satisfait les spécifications. La caractéristique est considérée pour elle-même mais pas en fonction de son incidence dans l’assemblage dont elle fait partie. Le tolérancement inertiel propose une autre alternative de tolérancement afin de garantir l’assemblage final. L’inertie I= δ + σ n’est pas ...
