Abstract
A synthesis procedure for allocating tolerances and clearances in rapid prototyping (RP) processes has been developed, using a unified method based on stochastic approach, as developed by the authors, to study the mechanical error in RP processes. The tolerances and clearances that cause mechanical error have been assumed to be random variables, and are optimally allocated so as to restrict the mechanical error within the specified limits. Using the synthesis procedure, the allocation is done for the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and the Stereolithography (SL) processes.
