`
`Alpha Plastics maximizes tolerance control through (1) vacuum sizing, (2) streamlines die design, and (3) strict quality controls.
`Allowing tolerance relief in less critical are as will always improve overall extrusion quality and throughput.
`In practice, we usually find that only a few critical dimensions (such as mating are as with other parts) actually effect part function and must be controlled cretically during extrusion.
`Holding all dimensions to extremely tight toleraces can be prohibitively expensive.
`It is critical, however, to take great care to determine required working tolerances before purchasing potentially unnecessary tooling.
`Please keep in mind that (1) general tolerances vary by material extruded, and (2) specialized tooling can hold tighter tolerances than those listed below.
`Because extrusions are not 100% contained by metal tooling, tolerances must generally be looser than other nolding processes.
`In an effort to assist our customers in determining the tolerance capabilities of the plastic extrusion process, we have developed this guide,
