Speaking a Precise Language
Orthopaedic component manufacturers should use profile
tolerancing to achieve high mechanical precision.
Dr. Hetland discusses the increased complexity of
surface geometries and the decreasing feature tolerances
of orthopaedic components that is driving the need for
unprecedented precision in product design definition. |

Basic Elements: Zero tolerance: A new way of
looking at precision
To say we are all used to plus/minus tolerancing is a
drastic understatement, yet as demands on quality rise,
and many parts shrink and become more complex, our old ±
may not cut it anymore. |
