description Can tolerance limits in production be extended without violating the specifications of design and development? Adherence to tolerances is crucial for the technical quality of a manufactured good. Fit functions of modules often involve highly precise tolerances, incurring high costs. To avoid or at least reduce these costs, this paper develops a new approach to tolerances, the Dynamic Tolerance System. This approach allows the manufacturer to expand the tolerance limits of single parts of an assembly group and enables the production of assembly groups that are subject to specific fit functions.
