Schaumburg, IL, February 3, 2026 — meviy, the on-demand custom parts manufacturing service developed by MISUMI Group, Inc., has published a new article, “Best Practice Tips for Correct Tolerancing in Design and Manufacturability,” designed to help engineers define tolerances with confidence and avoid costly production issues.
Engineering tolerances play a critical role in determining whether parts assemble correctly, perform reliably, and meet cost and delivery targets. Yet tolerancing decisions are often made without clear visibility into real manufacturing capability. meviy’s latest guide addresses this challenge by providing practical, engineer-focused guidance on tolerance design, manufacturing tolerance trade-offs, and how tolerancing directly impacts design for manufacturability.
The article walks readers through:
• How engineering tolerances influence fit, function, quality, and cost
• The relationship between design tolerance and manufacturing tolerance
• Common tolerancing mistakes that increase lead time and rework
• How to calculate tolerance using stack-up analysis and functional datums
• The cost and risk trade-offs of overly tight or overly loose specifications
Unlike traditional tolerancing resources, the guide connects theory to real-world manufacturing outcomes. Engineers learn how tolerance decisions affect CNC machining, inspection effort, and supplier capability, and how early feedback can prevent late-stage revisions.
The article also highlights how meviy supports better tolerancing decisions through instant online quoting and automated design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback. By uploading 3D CAD data, engineers can quickly see how tolerance choices affect cost and lead time, allowing them to iterate early when changes are fastest and least expensive.
The full article, “Best Practice Tips for Correct Tolerancing in Design and Manufacturability,” is now available here.
