Standard Part Tolerances

Unless we have agreed to other tolerances in your part estimate, RAG will work to achieve and hold the tolerances noted below, which will vary per the primary manufacturing method you select.

Parts that exceed the build envelope capacity for an any process or machine will be built in segments and bonded together, as will parts with hollow or void areas that require support removal.

Items quoted will be manufactured using RAG standard processes using materials listed above and inspected per RAG standard acceptance criteria.

Stereolithography (SLA)

  • X/Y axis: +/-005” for the first inch, +/- 0.002” for every inch thereafter
  • Z axis: +/- 0.010” for the first inch is typical, plus +/- 0.002” for every inch thereafter
  • Minimum linear feature size of 0.030”
  • Maximum build volume of 20” x 20” x 30”.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

  • +/- 0.005″ for the first inch is typical, or +/- 0.002″ per inch thereafter.
  • Parts with thicker geometries, flat parts, and parts with uneven wall thicknesses will be prone to significant deviations or warp due to variable thermal shrinkage and stress.
  • Maximum build size 13” x 15” x 18″
  • Minimum feature size .035”.
  • Maximum build size:

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

  • +/- 0.005″ for the first inch, or +/- 0.002″ per inch in the XY-axis, whichever is greater.
  • +/- 0.010″ for the first inch, or +/- 0.002″ per inch in the Z-axis, whichever is greater.
  • RAG chooses part orientation to maximize part quality unless otherwise specified.
  • Minimum feature size .035”
  • Maximum build size: 24” x 36” x 36”.

Continuous Printing (DLP)

  • +/- 0.005″ for the first inch is typical, or +/- 0.001″ per inch.
  • Minimum layer thickness is 10 microns. (.00039”)
  • Maximum build size: 4.9 x 2.8 x 7.7”.

    • M2 ICast (part) wax 61-66 °C
    • M2 IC SUW (support) wax 55-65°C

Urethane Casting

  • +/- 0.010” or +/- 0.003” per inch, whichever is larger. Irregular or overly-thick geometries may cause deviances or deflection due to shrinkage.
  • A shrinkage rate of +0.15% can be expected due to thermal expansion in a liquid state, and the response of the flexible mold.
  • Surface finish is externally smoothed to a satin or matte surface. Grow lines may be present on internal or difficult-to-access features. Polishing or custom finishes must be clearly defined and agreed upon at the point of order.
