    I’m well aware of how tolerances work, I’ve worked in automotive manufacturing since 2016 and currently run the maintenance department at a tier 2 manufacturing facility.
    Injection molding is able to have tolerances in the hundredth of millimeter range true. But metal stamping is not as precise.

      Cool

      I’ve only been in it a few times and only short term.

      My work was in other industries

      I think my point was that most people don’t understand tolerances and what a micron means.
