Manufacturing Tolerance Standards

Detailed engineering reference tables for CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding tolerances.

CNC Machining Tolerances (ISO 2768-m / ISO 2768-f)

Standard general machining tolerances adhere to ISO 2768 medium (m), with high-precision features holding ISO 2768 fine (f) or custom GD&T down to ±0.005 mm.
