The following factors dominate the
accuracy of the finished products by the
prototyping machines;
- Accuracy in the repeated milling operation
- Accuracy in tool positioning
- Degree of machine vibration during operation
- Degree of the spindle runout
- Accuracy of a milling tool and the degree of
the tool wear
The processing accuracy is influenced by the worst
value of the above five factors.
Hence, it is delusive to state that the overall accuracy
is good enough by taking up
the partial factor (resolution).
