  • The minimum tolerance (range) that can be specified varies for each combination of geometry elements.

Fit Tolerance

The fit tolerances that can be set for lathe machining and secondary machining are as follows.

Resin：Grade IT7 or above

Caution

  • The following surface treatments cannot be specified with a tolerance range of less than 0.1.

Tip

  • (1) Holes on the same circumference are called P.C.D. (Pitch Circle Diameter). Cross bores are not supported.
  • (2) P.C.D is recognized even with different hole types.
  • (3) P.C.D. is recognised regardless of whether the positions of the holes are equally or unequally divided.
  • (4) It is possible to add diagonal dimensions that specify the distance between P.C.D. holes.
  • How to use > Adding/Deleting Dimensions and Dimensional Tolerances
P.C.D. Equally divided P.C.D. Unequally divided The distance between P.C.D. holes.

Caution

  • P.C.D. recognition is supplementary and reference information in meviy for CNC Turned parts.
  • If you need to specify the tolerance between holes, please select the “Add tolerance” icon and specify the tolerance for the target position.

Tip

  • The positional relationship of holes on both end faces of the reference model in the figure below is a general tolerance. Positional tolerances cannot be specified for topologically related shapes..

Notes

  • 3D Model Colour Schemes
  • If a colour scheme for an unsupported shape is displayed, automatic quotation is not available.

Geometric Tolerance

Surfaces and feature types available for geometric tolerance setting.
Configurable Surfaces
  • Geometric tolerances cannot be specified for holes, keyways (both outer and inner diameters), notches (including pockets), inner diameter grooves, and end grooves.
  • If a datum or geometric tolerance is specified on a threaded diameter, the tolerance is guaranteed based on the measured value before threading.
Configurable geometric tolerances
*Depending on the material and size, a manual quotation may need to be requested.
