Capability bounds and precision manufacturing specifications for CNC Turning (Lathe).

Capability Bounds

CNC Turning (Lathe) capability specifications
Standard ToleranceTypically follows ISO 2768-m. A practical rule is ±0.10 mm for the first 25 mm, plus ±0.002 mm for each additional mm. Tolerances at the material interface are generally looser, around ±0.20 mm.
Min Feature SizeMin Draft Angle: 1° for rigid substrate (e.g., PC, ABS), 0.5° for soft TPE/TPU overmolds. A conservative 2-3° is highly recommended for textured surfaces to prevent scuffing during ejection.
